"A California Department of Justice agent who won a lawsuit that compelled her department to pay her five years of back wages was among the highest paid workers in California government last year.

Angie Resendez earned more than $709,000 in 2016, almost entirely because of the sum the state was ordered to pay her after the justice department in 2010 put conditions on her reinstatement when she recovered from what she thought was a career-ending disability."
