This doofus needs to be voted out of office, at the very least.
As an attorney, and a former Deputy Attorney General (many moons ago), I am generally inclined to support having state attorneys being paid more. But when elected officials say they have to pay the attorneys in their office more or they’ll be lost to the private sector, I have to call out the BS. Pay at the AG’s office has gone up way above the rate of inflation since I worked there. Meanwhile private sector salaries have remained flat for decades, benefits are few and far between, and unemployment of private sector employees is commonplace. (Oh, and you are working 60 hour weeks if you could find a private law firm job.) The legal job market has been saturated for a long time. When I came out of law school in 1987, the private sector was where it was at and public sector jobs were looked down upon. That has switched big time. Now it is the public sector attorney jobs that are the ones that are highly sought. And good reason. The pay is good, you get scores of benefits including a pension, and you get to go home at 4:30 pm on weekdays and have your weekends off. Oh, and most likely you’re not going to have to worry about layoffs that happen all the time at private law firms.
Apparently Hill does not use the same HR department that all of the State employees use, so why would anybody be surprised he does not use any of the other administrative systems.
Thanks Paul O for some insight on salary levels. I agree with Micheal G as well.
Kudos to the Journal Gazette for the local investigation, and the IBJ for reporting this down here in the capital.
