City attorney candidate works for ECSO, too

Asst. City Attorney William “Rusty” Wells – and candidate to replace John Fleming as the City Attorney for Pensacola. Wells has a dual career. He supposedly works 40+ hours a week for the City and is paid $125,403.20 (using June 2007 figures). Wells works an additional 20 hours a week for the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office – handling their forfeitures.

According documents obtained by the IN, Wells is paid $60,000 annually to work for the ECSO.

If I paid someone over $100K, I would expect him to work solely for me. How other dual careers are there at City Hall?
