SACRAMENTO, CA - More than 6,000 retired California educators collect more than $100,000 in pension payments annually, according to the California Foundation for Fiscal Responsibility.
Retired City of Modesto Schools Administrator, James Enochs collects a $302,000 pension annually. Retired San Joaquin County office of Education Administrator Fredrick Wentworth collects a $296,000 pension.
"In one year, the list has grown by 25 percent," California Foundation for Fiscal Responsibility spokesperson Marcia Fritz said. "Yet, student enrollment hasn't moved more than 1 percent, I'm blown away by it."
Fritz supports pension reform and believes the list is a way to show the system needs repair.

Top on the list, former embattled city of Vernon manager Bruce Malkenhorst just had his $500,000 pension slashed by CalPERS the state retirement fund.

But others said these top earners don't tell the whole story.
"This is a small peice of the pie, these are top administrators whose pensions are huge, but can't compare to state workers who retire with a fraction of that," Californians for Retirement Security spokesperson Steve Maviglio said.
