I work for a school system in the Metro Atlanta area. Our school superintendent makes the same salary as this guy. The cost of living is much lower here than in Connecticut. It’s outrageous what many of these public education leaders make. But the public just seems to stroll right along not caring if they pay high taxes to support these vampires.
But I'll take it a step further and tell you the cost of living in Atlanta might be lower than Connecticut, but it's not as low as it is in any part of Sweet Home Alabama, including just outside of Huntsville where I live. My nice software engineer income stretches pretty far here so I can invest it in tax efficient accounts and retire early after putting kids through college. Y'all can have your high cost of living Democrat-run places.
