From a blog regarding David Clarke: With any other department head Republicans would be screaming about excessive overtime costs, but not with David Clarke. In 2013 25 deputies got in the six figure club going as high as $166,000. Another 27 deputies earned between $90,000 and $100,000, meaning about 20% of deputies had incomes above $90,000 in 2013. That is not too shabby considering that their base pay is about $64,000 or just under $31/hour. Can you imagine any fiscal conservative having a hero who allows his employees to make more money in overtime than their base salary. Clarke makes $132,000 and is not eligible for overtime. But he gets to go on a three month out of eighteen month window graduate class in California. That tidbit was only found out when he was giving a series of national interviews live from Monterey, California after he used taxpayer money to run ads for residents to get firearm training because simply calling 911 and waiting may not be an option.
