| Survey: 21 of 53 Bay State Obamacare staffers make more than $100G a year |
| 2013-11-26 |
| [BOSTONHERALD] A stunning 40 percent of the staff at the state agency that oversees the glitch-plagued, befuddling $69 million Obamacare website earn six-figure salaries, according to payroll numbers obtained by the Herald. Some 21 of the 53 employees at the Massachusetts Health Connector make more than $100,000 a year, even as Bay Staters struggle to sign up for health care through a website beset by slow speeds and technical difficulties and a call center with frequently long hold times. Topping the list is Executive Director Jean Yang, who is pulling down $179,243. Chief Operating Officer Roni Mansu earns $178,415, while General Counsel Edward DeAngelo makes $175,621. Chief Information Officer Scott Devonshire makes $164,545, and Director of Business Development David Kerrigan brings in $164,545. And those figures don't include fringe benefits. Former state Inspector General Gregory Sullivan said the tally "appears to be very high" and that Massachusetts should endeavor to compare its salaries with those of other states as they roll out their own connectors to administer Obamacare. "I think what the public is owed is a straightforward comparison, position-by-position, including the number of positions, of all the states," Sullivan said. "Certainly these salaries are far in excess of salaries of comparable state employees, no question about that. However, those who apply themselves too closely to little things often become incapable of great things... we also have to consider the nature of the job. It's expensive to hire IT people. But that's true around the country." |

| #2 I'm worried about Champ packing the courts, but almost more worried about the billions flowing to people who will use that money to fund the Left for the next 50 years. |
