Ousted in March, but tax board’s leader never missed a paycheck
On losing her job last spring, former Board of Equalization executive Cynthia Bridges ultimately traded five bosses for one.
Board member Jerome Horton this month hired her as a special consultant, keeping her on his payroll seven months after the tax board voted to remove her as its executive director amid a critical audit about the board’s efficiency and management. Bridges now earns about $9,800 a month providing tax advice to Horton and his constituents, according to her contract.
Her new job is her second extension at BOE since the board announced in late March that she would be leaving the department by June 30. The board appointed longtime administrator David Gau as her successor.
