Phil Matier: Hundreds Of San Francisco City Workers Make More Than Governor
SAN FRANCISCO (KCBS) – More than 500 San Francisco city workers made more than Governor Jerry Brown last year, and almost 200 of them made in excess of $200,000.
Brown, whose salary was $173,987, made about as much as a senior police sergeant in San Francisco. The same holds true for state Attorney General Kamala Harris who, at $151,127 a year, is making less than many of the lawyers she used to oversee as San Francisco District Attorney.

Topping the list was San Francisco Police Chief Greg Suhr, at more than $321,000, followed close behind by Fire Chief Joanne Hayes-White, with a salary topping $314,000.
And the salary for San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee? He came in 27th on the list at $260,547.
