    They’re not even paying REAL lifeguards this much – _they_ get around $15-$25 an hour. The big income goes to yearly employees who maintain the beaches.

    Bet Reagan never made $200K as lifeguard.

    Newport Beach lifeguard’s lucrative salaries and pensions costing
    taxpayers millions each year. It’s time for some common sense.

    Those dirty elitist liberals in California!

    The
    Daily Pilot
    , a newspaper published in the neighboring city of
    Costa Mesa
    ,
    reported in 2010 that more than a quarter of households have an income
    greater than $200,000, and the median value for homes exceeds $1
    million
    .

    In February 2010, Portfolio.com ranked Newport Beach as the richest city in the U.S

    Wait a sec…

    Isn’t Newport Beach, CA a DEEP RED Republican city? (More redder than the Orange County it is a part of). It is one of the richest cities in America and has one of the highest percentages of registered republicans!

    As of January 2010, there were 34,747 registered Republicans, 13,684 Democrats 11,719 unaffiliated and 2,432 minor party voters.[17]

    In the state legislature Newport Beach is located in the 35th Senate District, represented by Republican Tom Harman, and in the 68th and 70th Assembly District, represented by Republicans Van Tran and Chuck DeVore respectively. Federally, Newport Beach is located in California’s 48th congressional district, which has a Cook PVI of R +8 and is represented by Republican John Campbell.

    LMAO!

    Well this is a story about a man named Stacy,
    Poor Maryland blogger barely kept his family fed,
    And then one day he was rooting for a story,
    And he found out that lifegards made $200k.

    Sunny weather? Republicans? Decent pay?

    Well the first thing you know ol’ Stacy is out of there.
    His kin folk said, you should move away from here.
    Said California is the place you ought to be.
    So he loaded up the Kia and he moved to Newport Beach.
