SBA Job may pay up to $350K

Florida State Board of Administration trustees will ultimately decide what to pay a new executive director, but interim director Bob Milligan had said back in December that anything less than $300,000 salary would not attract quality candidates. The trustees will discuss a job posting on Tuesday that lists the salary between $250,000 and $350,000.

By comparison, former director Coleman Stipanovich was a steal at $182,000.

Also, just finding good applicants is looking pretty pricey. Cabinet materials suggest that a thorough advertising posting national newspapers and financial press could cost as much as $49,000 ($37,000 would go for Wall Street Journal advertising). A special recruitment firm could cost as much as $111,000.

UPDATE!! The Trustees approved the salary and decided to hire a head-hunter with a 2-1 vote. Gov. Charlie Crist voted against the measure, calling it too expensive.

So, why can't they lower my property taxes ... big spending state bureaucrats!

Less government means LESS spending. I'm sure they could find someone who could do the job for LESS.

Maybe this is why my taxes are so high!

You are not a steal if you lose 2 billion.

cant charlie get The Donald to come in and right this ship.
we'll all be taxpayin partners in Trump Tower Toledo.....

Given the costs of the job announcement, how about Craig's List instead?

Always plenty of money for the top and never any money for those who actually do the work of the state.

"...anything less than $300,000 salary would not attract quality candidates."

Maybe, but it could help a few people save their homes from foreclosure due to out of control insurance and taxes. You know, those things you criminals in Tallahassee promised to fix if elected!
