Slingshot
Written By Sierra Thread

Alison Lehman (CEO of Nevada County, California) makes more than Gavin Newsom (Governor of the State of California). Same goes for Caleb Dardick (Asst. County Executive Officer), who makes more than Eleni Kounalakis (Lieutenant Governor of California). Why are county-level executives making more than state-level executives, especially when the population of Nevada County makes up 0.3% of the population of California?
