A perfect job for Lt Gov Brad Little

Idaho Lt. Gov. Brad Little would be the last one to complain about his working conditions, so let me do the complaining. He deserves better. Little has the qualifications and brains to serve in any office – including governor, or any position in Congress. Yet his annual salary is $42,600, which is below the going rate for a lot of state office staff workers (including his own). Of course, there’s no need to get too carried away with his plight. Lieutenant governor is a stepping stone. Butch Otter went from there, to Congress, then to the governorship. Jim Risch went to the governorship, then to the U.S. Senate. Little remains an early favorite to win the governor’s office in two years . But the job itself is a waste of incredible talent/ Chuck Malloy , Idaho Politics Weekly. More here .
