Is bankrupt Vallejo over paying new city manager?

Vallejo, the currently bankrupt city is over paying its Vallejo city manager. Vallejo's city manager is getting maybe $70,000 more than the average California city whose populations are within range of Vallejo's.

Also consider that the city manager salaries of the other cities in the comparison were more likely to have been set before the high unemployment kicked in.  At times like this, one can better negotiate the short term contract for the Vallejo city manager at a lower salary basis.  However, dealing with Vallejo's bankruptcy issues requires other skills that may be the cause for the unusually high Vallejo city manager salary.
