What is the point of posting her salary? Are you trying to point out that it is low or high? 120k is possibly lower that what many successful attorneys with over 10 years experience make. Also consider she likely had 7+ years of education to become a lawyer before that that at a likely cost 1-2 hundred thousand.

I think he’s pointing out how low that is….given her track record performance for over 12 years, she would easily be a partner in a decent mid-sized firm, if not one of the big firms, making about 200k+ minimum, and more likely in the 285k range. First-year associates in most mid-sized firms in SC are getting paid about 90-100k, and about 135k in big firms – not counting any bonus. The AG’s Office is long overdue for a pay scale correction to be at least moderately competitive with the open market.

She’s provided tremendous service to this State and it’s a loss for the AG’s office, but she’ll surely make the Children’s Law Center a more valuable resource.

Way underpaid. Of course, that is big government according to Fits.
