good facts. I wonder if they get everything in there listed and what is considered overtime. Either way nice job. But living out there isnt cheap. 1000sq ft home in a descent neighborhood will run you 500 grand

LOL! That is a late model Sunseeker, probably a Predator 64.

I was wrong. Looks pretty close, but his is some Italian-made boat and from the late 80s.

That takes a retired 50 year old to $382,500/ year for his pension. Not bad in a resetion! I wonder why the state is going broke.....

Would you run in here
