READ THE STORIES
The Free Lance-Star filed Freedom of Information requests earlier this year for the name, position and salary of every local government and school employee in our area making $100,000 or more. This is the last in a three-part series looking at those salaries.
PART 1: School superintendents are top earners in local government.
PART 2: Spotsylvania School Superintendent Jerry Hill is the highest-paid government official in the Fredericksburg area, but county School Board officials say he is well worth the money. Meanwhile Spotsylvania County Administrator Doug Barnes makes less than his counterparts in Stafford and Fredericksburg, but he says the timing wasn’t right to ask for more money.
PART 3: Except
for sheriffs and prosecutors, most constitutional officers in Virginia keep a low profile. But these jobs come with impressive salaries.
