Transparency is a trendy topic when it comes to government spending, and curious taxpayers now can browse through fresh financial data regarding public worker pay. New details on wages and benefits for every city and county employee in California were posted on the state controller’s website recently, showing both what individual workers earned and what agencies paid on average in 2013. The website is located at PublicPay.ca.gov. Specific names aren’t included, but it’s not hard to figure out who’s who among the top earners because job titles are listed. So if you want to know how much Merced’s city manager cost taxpayers last year, everything is there: $172,766 in regular pay, $20,256 for a defined benefit plan and $11,829 toward health, dental, and vision insurance. That’s a grand total of $204,851 for Merced City Manager John Bramble. That was less than what many of the region’s smaller cities paid for their top managers.
