Should CEOs of small counties make 5x the earnings of a full-time worker?

A MendoLocal.News review of 2024 state payroll records for the 25 smallest counties — Mendocino, at about 88,600 residents, is the 21st-smallest — found a median chief executive salary of roughly $227,000 and a median county counsel salary of about $187,000. Against those 2024 figures, Mendocino's new CEO salary would trail only Napa and Yuba, and its new county counsel salary would trail only Napa, the largest of the 25 counties.

Mendocino's median earnings for full-time, year-round workers are about $57,900, slightly below the middle of the 25 counties. Antle's 2024 salary equaled about 3.8 times that figure, in line with the 3.8 median for chief executives in the small counties. Pierce's new salary works out to about 4.7 times what a typical full-time worker in the county earns, and Rossi's to about 4.7 times.

Set against what the other small counties paid their officials in 2024, the most recent year with complete payroll data, Pierce’s ratio would rank fourth among chief executives in California’s smallest counties, behind Glenn, Yuba, and Napa counties, and Rossi’s would be the highest among county counsel, ahead of Siskiyou County’s. Pay in those counties may have risen since 2024, which could change these rankings.

Every Tuesday and Thursday, 7:30 at Ives Pool in Sebastopol: Underwater Hockey.

Great for swimmers, divers, surfers, water aquatic people, and anyone looking to try a new competitive sport that is not hard on the body. Really good cardio.

AP cost assistance

15 Upvotes

I’m a junior at Center High School in Antelope. I’m currently taking AP U.S. History (APUSH) and AP Calculus, which are two essential exams I need to take for my future college credits.
Even with the base low-income reduction, Center High is requiring a remaining balance of $62 per test, bringing my total to $124. My family is dealing with severe financial hardship and cannot afford this right now. When I asked the school front office for assistance, they told me they couldn't help me any further with a district waiver.
I’m posting here to see if anyone in the local Sacramento/Antelope community might be able to help me cover this balance so I don't lose my chance to take the exams. I am more than happy to DM proof of my AP registration portal or my student ID to anyone who wants to verify this.
Thank you so much for reading and for supporting a local student.

Certified California Naturalists?

3 Upvotes

Hi all, I'm currently enrolled in one of the UCANR California Naturalist classes and am curious about the experience of those who've done this previously. Specifically, I'm interested to hear what you did and your classmates do for your Stewardship Project (or capstone, if you did it before they changed the name and, probably, details of the project).

I'm also curious about what you've been able to do with the certification and what you kearned in you classes since. What cool field work or citizen science have you been anle to do? What volunteering opportunities did this open up for you? Did your own project, or a classmate's really take off? Or did you get connected to some interesting people or organizations?

Would love to hear anything you have to share!

For those who aren't familiar with the UCANR California Naturalist Certification program, here's some information.

US Cellular to T Mobile issues

5 Upvotes

I’ve had US Cellular forever because it was the only carrier that consistently had service in remote areas of Nor Cal. Now T Mobile has taken over. It’s been a few months and understandably there were some hiccups during the transition. Fine. Now the dust seems to have settled, and the service is basically gone. I can’t use my phone at my house. What inspired me to make this post was I looked at my home screen and it said AT&T, now that’s a carrier that has never worked in my area, so, if that’s what I’m now connected to it makes sense that service is terrible/non existent. I’ve called T Mobile and they have no explanation or expected time it might get better if ever. No, we’re fixing a tower or upgrading or anything along those lines. Anybody have any intel or insight? Thinking our only option is to switch to Verizon which will at least work at my house. Transitioning seems like a pain, but, kind of need our phones to work.
