The highest-paid state
government employee in budget-strapped California in 2010 was among the
least productive workers in the system, according to a Los Angeles Times
investigation reported in July. Jeffrey Rohlfing is on the payroll as a
surgeon in the state prison system (base pay: $235,740), but he has
been barred from treating inmates for the last six years because
supervisors believe him to be incompetent. Last year, Dr. Rohlfing
earned an additional $541,000 in back pay after he successfully appealed
his firing to the state's apparently easily persuaded Personnel Board.
Currently, Dr. Rohlfing is assigned records-keeping duties. [Los Angeles
