Just days after the furor over Mary Easley's state-paid trip overseas, NC State University says it's given the first lady an 88% pay hike.
The governor's wife teaches law courses and leads a speakers program. Her salary jumps from $90,300 a year to $170,000. NC State says Mary Easley is now doing the job full-time.
She now makes considerably more than her husband. Gov. Mike Easley pull in just $130,629 a year as the state's chief executive.

Well,the worst Governor this state has ever seen now has the worst First Lady this State has ever seen and thank goodness,they are leaving office soon...but not soon enough...they still have timne to really rip us off to the tune of a few more million before they leave....Folks,being familiar with politics for many years,this is just a small example of what politicians do....and the irony in all this is that its the ignorant vocal population that keeps on electing the same old crooks every year...remember when you go to vote,NEVER vote for the incumbent....chance are they have already stolen from state coffers our hard earned tax money....Anyway,this situation is outrageous!!! Looks to me like some group should picket the Governors mansion!!! Let her pay her own expenses (even though I know that will never happen!) What a couple of in-your-face crooks the Easleys are!!

Are the NCSU physics, & other science, math, & engineering professors paid in this same way? After all NCSU has these programs in full swing (they only offer PRE-law). Is it true that we would promote lawyers & politicians whilst the math, science, & technologies are promoted in other countries? I have always heard that NCSU was the place to go for engineering, & math fields. If the head of the science, math, technologies...departments are not making AT THE VERY LEAST $170,000 yearly, then I may have answered my own question. Again, what does the head of the engineering department, math department, chemistry department, etc. make at NCSU? Does anyone know?
