Orange County supervisors drew heavy criticism this week for handing their new CEO, Mike Giancola, his second raise in a year and a half, especially after years of taking particularly hard lines in contract negotiations with managers and rank-and-file workers, according to the Voice of OC, which also reported that:
Last May, CEO Mike Giancola was given a raise that brought his salary to $248,057.68 plus perks like a retirement investment account, a pension, a car allowance, and cashable leave balances.
This Tuesday, supervisors also authorized a one-time cash payment of nearly $5,000.00 plus 80 hours of cashable vacation time.
