For the second year in a row, Superintendent of Schools Dr. Betty Sternberg is the queen bee on the Town's paycheck honeycomb.

At $287,288, the superintendent of schools made more in 2008 than U.S. Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings - $192,300....

....Greenwich's widely awaited annual list of 100 top wage earners was distributed Tuesday by Human Resources Director Maureen Kast. At $143,241, Kast is No. 24.

A former head of human resources for the New York City Police Department, Kast noted that while top educators dominate the 2008 Greenwich list as they did in 2007, there is a strong presence from the Greenwich Police Department. In an interview she attributed this to cops putting in much overtime ....

....Accident Car Patrolman Joseph Rondini, at $156,760, is 10th on the earnings list; Lt. Mark Kordick, at $148,307, is 18th on the list, while Police Chief David Ridberg, at $145,243, checks in at No. 21.....

.....Mario Gonzalez, who resigned as head of Greenwich Library at the end of the year, No. 3 at $180,880; and William O. Kowalewski, executive director of The Nathaniel Witherell, No. 4, at $169,283.

Kowalewski runs the Town-owned 202-bed skilled nursing home......

....Spots 99 and 100 on the list are pinned down, respectively, by police Lt. James Heavey, at $118,503, and North Street School Assistant Principal Karen Vitti at $117,953.

First Selectman Peter Tesei, paid $110,000 annually, did not make the top 100 list.....
