More than 3,000 retired California educators collect pensions of $100,000 or more per year, complains the California Foundation for Fiscal Responsibility. I checked the list (pdf) and found a retired community college president and several administrators, but no teachers. Cameron McCune, a retired superintendent getting more than $20,000 a month, may be the top recipient.
My pension from Knight Ridder newspapers represents 15 percent of my peak pay.
