Ex-Santa Clara city manager Deanna Santana alleges city didn’t pay out full six-figure severance package

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:49:07 GMT

SANTA CLARA — Former city manager Deanna Santana, the once second-highest paid city manager in the state, has filed a claim against the city, accusing officials of not paying out her entire six-figure severance package and “clawing back” some of her owed benefits.Santana was hired in 2017 and then fired in February 2022 by the Santa Clara City Council, with a majority of councilmembers expressing  a “lack of confidence” in her ability to do her job. As part of her contract, Santana opted to receive her severance package — a year’s salary and benefits — over the span of 12 months instead of in one lump sum.In 2020, the ex-city manager made $765,152 in total compensation, making her the second-highest paid in the role in the state only behind the Fontana city manager.But according to a claim appended to Tuesday’s council meeting agenda, Santana alleges the city breached its agreement with her by not paying out all of her compensation and benef...

Johnny Depp and Will Smith traveled to Saudi Arabia over the weekend, apparently to try to recapture some of the red carpet glory they once enjoyed as two of Hollywood’s most beloved and bankable stars.But the actors, whose careers have been separately damaged by various controversies, are apparently so eager to return to the limelight that they’ve opened themselves up to accusations of turning a blind eye to Saudi Arabia’s “egregious” human rights abuses by attending the Red Sea International Film Festival, the Puck newsletter and Daily Mail reported. The Saudi culture minister chairs the foundation which runs the festival in Jeddah, prompting human rights groups to say that celebrities who participate are engaging in “art-washing,” or “image-laundering,” by lending their names and star power to the event.TMZ and other outlets reported that neither Depp nor Smith seemed particularly concerned about being complicit in this kind o...
