The highest paid public employee in each state

Nick Saban, head coach of the men’s football team at the University of 
Alabama, is paid more than $7 million annually. He is the highest paid 
employee of all U.S. workers employed by a local or state government.

In the vast majority of states, college football and basketball coaches 
are the highest paid public employees. When a millionaire coach is not 
the state’s top earner, high ranking medical officials or deans at state 
University-run hospitals and college presidents are usually next in 
line. 24/7 Wall St. reviewed public records and external sources to 
identify the highest paid public employee in each state.


*12. Idaho*
*> Highest paid employee:* Bryan Harsin
*> Position:* College football coach
*> Salary:* $1.10 million

In his latest season as head coach of the Boise State University 
football team, Bryan Harsin earned $1.1 million, more than any other 
public employee in Idaho. While Harsin is the highest paid state 
employee in Idaho, his salary is lower than a majority of Division I 
football coaches.


Please note that I am not complaining about the Idaho guy.  It could be 
worse.  Just look at the compensation rates for other states, and notice 
what's happening.  If anything, these top salaries are an ample prompt 
to examine what other public employees are earning, and raise some of 
their wages in manners more equitably approaching the justice of their 
efforts.
