Salaries and benefits for public employees are a matter of public record, so I don't doubt the figures. I also don't doubt that the examples given were from the upper end of the list.
Heck, yours used to be on an internet site along with everyone else's in your neck of the woods. If you're just scraping by, you might have been in the wrong line of work.

Your County Administrator clocked in at Number One with over $300,000 a year.
