Wow, i knew pension plans were a problem, but I didn’t realize they were this generous.

Plenty more are on the way. There were over 38,000 CA state employees who made at least $100,000 in 2007 - many were paid well into six figures. You can view the individual salaries in descending order, either by department or overall, at the following sfgate link:
