  1. If that's all you have to worry about get off the boards and find something better to do. Zdreg is right. If you're going to be the forum police do it somewhere else.

    Well...you are a dolt with atrocious reading comprehension, not to mention a poor judge of character.

    He was in charge of 325 schools or something. In England they pay a headmaster in excess of two hundred thousand pounds a year in salary and benefits, in some circumstances.

  8. A "public service" job is supposed to be just that. When a public servant makes more then doctors, lawyers and businesspeople then that is an obvious problem.

    The primary problem with public employees is the retirement and benefits package.

    This guy could retire and for 30 years collect most of his base salary and complete benefits with minimal co-pay - which is what is bankrupting the states.

    Ask the State of Wisconsin, New Jersey, etc. etc. etc.

    It is the bennies.
