and-benefits-last-year/

A BART janitor was paid $162,000 in overtime last year, almost three times
his base salary, according to public pay data.

Liang Zhao Zhang also received nearly $15,000 in other pay to gross nearly
$235,000, records show. Benefits brought his total cost of employment to
the rail agency to more than $270,000.

And records show this isn’t the first time he raked in six-figure
compensation at BART. The same employee received a combined $682,000 in
pay and benefits over the last three years.

The eye-popping figures are featured in a new report from the non-profit,
Transparent California, which released records showing the pay of special
district workers across the state Tuesday morning.

“It would be great if all janitors were paid $200,000,” said Transparent
California Research Director Robert Fellner. “But I seriously doubt BART
riders — who must pay for this excess — are ever afforded that
opportunity.”

Another maintenance worker at the Port of Oakland topped $200,000 in pay
and benefits last year, data showed.

The highest paid special district worker in the state was Nancy Farber,
CEO of Fremont’s Washington Health Care District, who took home $931,839
in pay and benefits, records show.
