Excerpts (see news article cited directly above):

• Last year, Hudson purchased a $78 shoe polisher with "lamb wool buffers," records show.
• Can't he afford to pay for his own shoeshines?
• Turns out, he probably can. That's because he is collecting a $200,000 annual retirement benefit from the city of Riverside, along with his new Sacramento County CEO salary of $258,000 plus benefits.

Commentary:

• $458,000 in combined annual income. ($200,000 annual pension PLUS $258,000 annual salary, plus benefits)
• Why is he able to begin collecting a pension at such a young age where he is still able to work?
• Public servant? 
• Or, master system manipulator?
