Had I been asked which state hands the biggest salary to its head honcho, I’d have assumed California or New York.
In which case I’d have been wrong, as I learned while researching “What the governor gets paid in every state,” my latest piece on Money Talks News.
Learned some other interesting stuff, too, such as the fact that one governor’s wife worked as a summertime waitress to save up for a car and that another governor credits his mad budget-balancing abilities to his super-frugal mother, a widow who washed and re-used not just aluminum foil but also wax paper and plastic wrap.
And nope, I’m not going to say which governor earns top dollar. You’ll have to go read the article to find out.
