    I love how 7 are women! No more glass ceiling!:)

  2. Thurlow Harper on March 21, 2014 7:36 AM

    Notice 7 of these are DHHS. Taxpayer Money! What??? Think about that.there is over $1 million in wages for the 7 that work for DHHS. I guess we know why the federal Government is in Debt.

    No wonder there was so much screaming when Lepage surfaced a plan to close the Dix pavillion…Reminds me of the dozen psychiatrists who lived rather well at AMHI; but rarely had results to show for all the money they were paid….ah, but their research publications using inmates where just wonderful!

  4. Frank J. Heller on March 21, 2014 11:38 AM

    Someone blogged that USM had performing artist(female) who was getting paid over $300,000. true or not?

  5. Steve Hopkins on March 22, 2014 8:51 AM

    Why the exclusions of several departments?

  6. Jack Long on March 23, 2014 3:21 PM

    I thought men made more than women… More lies from the left revealed. Their entire existence is a lie.

  7. Tim Floyd on March 23, 2014 5:22 PM

    If you want to talk “public” employees. Let’s talk corporate welfare. The CFO of eastern Maine health makes over $2.2 million.

  8. Tammy Collins-Smart on March 23, 2014 7:51 PM

    Hey LePage… Time for these people to take a pay cut…. You want to cut food stamps for the poor people in Maine>>>>>?????? Why not start there???? There is no way these people should be naking this much $…

  9. Jeffrey Judkins on March 23, 2014 8:21 PM

    How much does Mary Mayhem make?

  10. Jim Betts on March 24, 2014 9:06 AM

    Does anyone have a clue what they would earn in the private sector? Just because they make more than us doesnt mean the pay is out of line. #10 is a Lapage appointee. She is a physician who heads the Maine Center for Disease Control, what would be an appropriate salary? The governor had a hard time filling the top positions because the pay was so low compared to what they were making outside of govt.

  11. Dick Wass on March 24, 2014 11:36 AM

    Why does Health and Human Services have so many 6 figure salaries? Something smells there.

  12. Johnny Johnson on March 24, 2014 12:21 PM

    Fire the dhhs

  13. E.j. Thorpe on March 25, 2014 1:21 PM

    To everyone complaining about these salaries.. They are NOT that much. They went to school, got an education, and work hard for their money. STOP whining about what you don’t have. How is this even an article?
