[QUOTE="iluvatar5150, post: 68552340, member: 313046"] I didn't say that it outraged me; I said that it amazed me. I'm not outraged, because I'm perfectly ok with people making comfortable salaries. I'm surprised by it, because you don't often see people getting paid $80k for administrative work in sparsely-populated rural areas. If she were the clerk in one of the state's urban counties, I wouldn't have batted an eye. Did you read the document I linked to? The salary schedules applied statewide. Any county clerk (or judge or jailer or sheriff) in an equivalently-sized county would make exactly the same as her. I'm not looking to pin anything on her aside from her inability to make a distinction between religious beliefs and her duty as a public official. The county clerk's office seems to be a family business for her: her mother was clerk for decades, while she worked in the office, including as a deputy clerk. Now that she's the county clerk, her son is working in the office. She's not a "public servant" in the truest sense of the word; she's a participant in a long-running system of nepotism that doles out cushy government jobs that pay well above average. [/QUOTE]
