The raises, including the latest, will also boost McMurry\u2019s state pension.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Seriously, the guy got his foot in the door of a job where he doesn\u2019t do anything, and banks a quarter mil.\u00a0 For pretty much no reason other than he was too lazy to look for anything else, he ends up doubling his salary over the span of like 6-7 years, and he has accomplished basically nothing.\u00a0 2-3 of those years were kind of a wash thanks to Coronavirus and people not really going anywhere, and the bozo still got a $100k raise in 2021.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Here&#8217;s the kicker too.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">The state paid Gov. [Yosemite Sam] $176,250 in 2022.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">The governor of the entire state makes less than half of what the GDOT commissioner makes.\u00a0 Now I don\u2019t like that cocksucker either, but something seems fishy when he\u2019s getting literally lapped salary-wise.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Either way, it\u2019s pretty incredible that there\u2019s actually someone out there that actually makes as much money as a professional athlete and deserves the money even less.\u00a0 It\u2019s also pretty incredible that I somehow managed to find the time to bang out a brog post about something out of the usual array of fallback topics, but I wouldn\u2019t anticipate it happening again for another minute, but for what it\u2019s worth, it was a little reprieve.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>But what we have here is someone who appears to be more egregiously overpaid than a professional athlete: Georgia Department of Transportation commissioner to receive a $100,000 raise, bringing annual salary up to $550,000 Obviously there\u2019s no shortage of crooked government workers in any state, but GDOT\u2019s flagrant doling out of taxpayer dollars to some &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/totfc.net\/?p=49488\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">It doesn\u2019t happen often<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[51,79,72,191,8,10,190],"class_list":["post-49488","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-brog","tag-cars","tag-cashmoney","tag-government","tag-greed","tag-ohgeorgia","tag-traffic","tag-white-people"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49488","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=49488"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49488\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":49490,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49488\/revisions\/49490"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=49488"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=49488"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=49488"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
