Milwaukee / UWMadison Absolutely Nuts

From JSOnline.

First I thought 250,000 to 500,000 for a superintendent is insane.

Then I see how much ( which is less) UWM spent for Biddy Matin on Hotels and I got to say, "the world has gone insane! How can you spend $38.000 on hotel expenses? You can get a Super 8 for 52 bucks a night.
"Attea said the cost of a superintendent search generally is based on 30% of the annual pay for the job. Including payments to his retirement fund and other benefits, Andrekopoulos' pay is under $200,000, and 30% of that would be under $60,000. Add in some expenses of the search and you come up with the $70,000 figure Attea suggested.

As another comparison point, consider the search that led to Biddy Martin being chosen in 2008 as University of Wisconsin-Madison chancellor. That cost just under $140,000, not including the time faculty and staff spent on the search, said David Musolf, UW-Madison's secretary of the faculty. The state's public flagship university spent about $72,000 on a search firm, about $17,000 on advertising, roughly $38,000 for hotel expenses and the remainder on incidental expenses such as postage, printing, phone charges and travel expenses, Musolf said." How much should Milwaukee spend on its superintendent search? - JSOnline


The left has gone insane with out of control spending and I hope people will wake up soon!

The left sure knows how to spend our (taxes) money!
