I talked about this a month or so ago talking about how the salary was 234,000 a year and I noticed in the HA yesterday.
Bounds received word of his raise after the state college board chose Tom Meredith to be Mississippi's higher education commissoner and approved a large pay increase for the position.State Law requires that Mississippi's Superintendent of Education be paid 90 percent of the commissioner's salary. The Commissioner's salary increased from 260, 000 to 325, 000 plus an annual 25,000 housing alowance. That means Bound's salary is about to jump from 234,000 to about 292,000. He could donate part of the money back to the agency. What does the Mississippi higher education commissioner do to earn 325,000? And why does Bounds get 90 percent of the commissioner's salary? Who approves this? I like Hank Bounds but to me this is over spending..:smt102
