Re: Salaries of MC Government Officials
Of course, I agree with you but the only one I said seemed high was Weast whose package includes some things so unusual that he is the only person in the entire county that gets them. The rest of my comments were on the relative differences. Maybe you didn't notice that, for example, Duncan's assistant makes more than Duncan. |

An acquaintance of mine was running in a dirty, hard fought race for sheriff of a hick town. I ask why he wanted the job. He answered “for the money. A man can take home over $200,000 a year in this position. Why the salary alone is $40,000.” |

It could happen. There have been and currently are situations here where long time state employees in higher level positions make more than a governor appointed Agency or Department head.
I know we have had similar issues here in Fairfax with the extremely generous salary and benefit package for the head of the school board. They wanted to be competitive and did what they thought was right to get who they thought was the best person for the job.
It doesn't always work out well for anyone except the person getting all those bucks. Regardless of their performance, they walk away with a bucket of money and all the connections they need to keep on going.
