dang, why was this submission hidden? I didn't see it flagged, it just disappeared and there was no discussion link.

FWIW at 5:40 PM PST it's not hidden in any way. It has 63 upvotes. It appears as item #55. It has one comment other than yours.

The corruption is terrible and I'm glad he was caught and prosecuted but it's weird to me that the topline salary figure is so prominent. He oversaw a $500 million budget and made the equivalent of a Googler with 3 to 6 years experience? Or a Citadel Securities/Jane Street/Hudson River Trading engineer with 0-2 years of experience? That part is hardly salacious.

Because being paid $300k to pick up poop seems a bit high. Like $250k too high.

I fell for the clickbait. I was super excited to read a story about the actor who plays the mascot for the Proctor & Gamble cleaning product having to beg for a raise, because they were paying him only $380k (which I'm pretty sure is below the poverty line in San Francisco).

Instead, "Mr. Clean" is merely the name of a corrupt (allegedly) local politician. How boring.
