S.F. overtime costs soar - crackdown is proposed 184 workers top $30,000 in 6 months - one nears $128,000

The San Francisco Chronicle reports:

In the first six months of this year, 184 San Francisco city employees made at least $30,000 apiece in overtime, according to data obtained by The Chronicle.

And the top overtime earner of 2008 should be little surprise. Christian Kitchin, a nurse at the county jail, is on track to pull in even more pay than he did last year, when he made $216,000 in overtime, bringing his total earnings to about $350,000. So far this year, he's made nearly $128,000 in overtime.

A nurse making 350K a year.That's more than the Governor of the state of California.That's more than many doctors make.
