The Palm Beach Post decided to check the time sheets of gubernatorial candidates and current cabinet members Republican Bill McCollum and Democrat Alex Sink. Turns out, in the past two months neither has been working that hard.
McCollum averages about 22 hours of work a week as attorney general — a job for which he’s paid $131,000 a year.
CFO Sink gets in about 33 hours of work a week. Not exactly a workaholic in the traditional sense, but still a bit more dedicated than McCollum.
Then again, both are juggling their campaigns. But with the current Governor, AG, CFO and possibly the Lt. Gov all seeking a new office, should we expect that all of Florida’s top elected officials will be working part time until November 2010?
Will you step up to support New Times this year?
At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $18,000 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.
