Dear Friend,

The Mississippi Center for Public Policy has just published a bombshell report on top public sector pay. Our report reveals how:
* Mississippi’s State Superintendent for Public Education earns $300,000 per year, making her one of the highest paid State Superintendents in America.
* Dozens of district education bureaucrats are paid more than the State Governor ($122,160 per year), who does not even rank in the top fifty highest paid officials.
* Education bureaucrats are some of the highest paid officials – despite presiding over some of the worst education outcomes.
* The average salary of the 24 School District Superintendents on the list is $175,000 – more than the Chief Justice of the State Supreme Court earns.

* Some of the WORST performing school districts pay education bureaucrats the HIGHEST salaries.
* Capping all School District Superintendent pay below what the Governor earns would produce taxpayer savings of $2 million a year, enough to pay for 50 additional teachers.

For years, we have been told that poor education outcomes were a consequence of underfunding. So how come there is enough money to pay soaring salaries to bureaucrats?

The Fat Cat report suggests that the problem is a chronic lack of public accountability – which explains more soaring salaries and poor education standards.

Our report makes a series of recommendations to ensure meaningful oversight of public sector bosses. READ OUR FAT CAT REPORT HERE. ([link removed])
