SACRAMENTO, CA - Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, struggling to find an answer to the ongoing woes inside the state prison system, named a new corrections chief Wednesday the man who since this spring has run the department. Schwarzenegger said he was handing the reins of the massive Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to James Tilton, a three-decade veteran of state government who has been acting secretary since April. Tilton, 57, will earn $220,000 a year, making him one of the state's highest-paid employees. His predecessor, Roderick Q. Hickman, earned $131,412 a year when he stepped down in February. The governor offered no explanation for the dramatic, nearly 70%, raise, but noted in a statement that "California's correctional system is at a crisis point." Read more.
