Former Sheriff Eric Magrini has apparently lost his lucrative position as Shasta County Assistant Executive Officer. County CEO Dave Rickert announced without much fanfare at Tuesday’s supervisors meeting that the Assistant Position has been eliminated, and has been vacant for an unspecified time period. Magrini got the appointment after resigning under pressure from his position as Sheriff. The move to eliminate the Assistant CEO will save the county more than $350,000 annually. That represents nearly 10% of the Administrative Office budget.
