Bottom Of The Barrel

Assistant executive director of what?

The Employer: Health and Educational Facilities Authority
The New Staff Member: Marian Walsh, a Democratic state senator from West Roxbury
The Job Title: Assistant Executive Director
The salary: $175,000
The Job Description: Health authority spokesman Liam Sullivan said Walsh will help the quasi-independent agency boost its “government relations expertise.”

Come again? The state is going to pay Mrs. Walsh 175 grand to help build government relations??? So much for Governor Patrick's fiscal responsibility in the midst or a recession. I guess all this new proposed candy tax, gas tax and toll hikes have to spent somewhere why not on a position that has remained vacant for the past 12 years. Clearly what state has been missing is someone to be over paid to find ways to help state agency work with our agencies. Of course here in the private sector we just call that plain old team work and can't afford to pay someone to cheer us all on.
