Editorial Criticizes Approval of Hospital Salary Cap Measure
Voters' approval of Measure M, which caps the salaries and compensation packages of executives at El Camino Hospital in Mountain View, "will prevent El Camino from keeping or attracting professionals qualified to manage a system of its size and complexity," a San Jose Mercury News editorial argues. It adds, "This was no grass-roots rebellion against lavish pay; it was a negotiating ploy by hospital unions."
