Warren's Pension and Pay Raise Amid California Defense of Secrecy
In Los Angeles a critique notes Chief Justice Earl Warren now earns 35,000 annually as a federal salary plus a California pension rising to 16,000 per year due to a state salary hike for the governor. The piece argues secrecy around Warren's pension was to shield him from stigma, while taxpayers face potential old age relief limits. It contrasts Warren's benefits with ordinary Social Security and criticizes Sacramento's lobbying influence and public payrolls dating back to 1919. It also mentions Governor Knight and Governor Knowland's pension futures, implying a broader pattern of political privilege.
