a well-paid "public servant"

Steven Daeschner's compensation package from Clark Co. Public Schools as described by Joe Arnold at the WHAS Political Blog...

My favorite part: the membership to an athletic club across the river in Kentucky. I'm glad to see he supports free trade.

Former Jefferson County Public Schools Superintendant Stephen Daeschner is back in Kentuckiana after a two year stint in depressing Aurora Illinois. I'm just looking over his contract from Greater Clark County schools. Here are the highlights:

• $225,000 per year salary (part of which to be raised by private donors)
• 20 vacation days per year
• $1500 per month stipend until his Illinois house is sold (up to 24 months!)
• Moving expenses
• Vehicle
• Cell phone
• Family membership to Louisville Athletic Club
