Protecting Public Health, the Environment,
and California's Natural Resources
GOOD SCIENCE REQUIRES GOOD SCIENTISTS
California's science-based environmental protection and
public health programs are widely recognized as among
the most sophisticated
and advanced in the world. Unfortunately,
substandard
state scientific salaries threaten California's vital
environmental and public health programs because
many state agencies can't keep or recruit skilled
scientists.
Why? Because California scientists make 27% less
than
scientists working in other branches of government.
