[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you want to complain about government salaries, go read the recent Baltimore sun article about state government salaries. The four highest paid folks: past UMCP president, former UMCP football coach, and the two current basketball coaches. [/quote]

That's actually not too comparable.  I can't remember where but there was an article not too long ago about the salary of big time salary coaches and how it kind of took away the importance of education at colleges.  Where by giving them the big salaries it shows that universities value athletics more and the other side of the point being that these big time sports bring in a lot of the revenue for schools.

But if you want to look at actual Maryland state government jobs, the equivalent jobs at Montgomery County Public Schools are way higher than their counterparts with the state government, county government and other school systems.

As for police being overpaid, I won't go too much into there.  But based on this thread people make it sound like a given that people should be able to hit $100k in salary.  I'm not sure how it is now but  I don't think police officers can make more than $75k and that's with overtime.  But that's based off of another jurisdiction and was more than ten years ago.  And won't even go into the lifestyle of police officers and what they have to deal with, some of which a previous poster already touched upon.[/quote]

Most cops make way more than 100k [/quote]
