Meng’s $1.7 million compensation—comprising $1.5 million in pay and roughly $200,000 in benefits—far exceeds that of his predecessor, Theodore Eliopoulos, whom Meng replaced in January 2019. Eliopoulos made just shy of $1 million in total compensation in all of 2018. Meng’s 2019 salary also far exceeded that of the second-most compensated California state employee, who made less than $1.3 million.
So he got a CA taxpayer bonus of $200k - for moving CA taxpayer money around to favored Chinese companies? Besides the salary of $1.5 million?
And anyone should wonder why flyover states do NOT want to bail out California politicians?
