The grunts (athletic inspectors)
Anthony Olivas is the second highest-paid athletic inspector for CSAC. That’s because he works for Consumer Affairs during the day, meaning he’s entitled to time-and-a-half pay as an athletic inspector. Or he was. His employment status is up in the air after his DUI bust in Sacramento County last September. On January 2nd, he pled no contest to one DUI charge. The deal sentenced him to three years of informal probation and 48 hours with the Sheriff’s Work Project. It is unknown if Consumer Affairs has suspended him or filed an adverse action to set the stage for his termination.
Olivas was the lead athletic inspector for the Oxnard debacle in September 2012.

What is the purpose of providing the above information? Am I missing something or would some MMA fan care about this for some reason?
They’re the decision makers & regulators for the fights that happen in the State. Putting a name to who does what.
Informational purposes only.
My anti-spam word was “jaybrone” and that’s how I feel looking at these salaries for everyone but the lawyers. LOL. Jesus, I’m a nobody secretary and I make more straight up than most of these people. Hell, adjusted for cost of living, I probably do better and have a higher standard of living than these “golden boys”.
I was thinking the same thing. 80k for the executive position, really?
Actually thought all of them would have made alot more.
The the money above the table. Dean Louhis back in the day would take only cash and not give a receipt. These guys are corrupt as hell.
When I think of “corrupt as hell” I usually don’t think about people pulling down sub-six figures. I’m sorry, but mid-level government employees are a silly thing to be concerned about.
I think he was getting at these guys making a lot more in illegal means.
Yeah, I get that, but even then, if they can’t swing much of a legitimate salary I get the distinct impression that they aren’t in bed with many special interest groups that would line their pockets all that much.
These people are grievously underpaid.
