GOP pays well

Republican-controlled Florida Legislature will have 61 staffers in the House Speaker and Senate President’s offices that make at least $100,000, according to the Miami Herald.

In the House, incoming Speaker Dean Cannon has given salaries of at least $100,000 to 28 staffers. In the Senate, 33 will earn six figures under incoming President Mike Haridopolos.

And BTW, the legislature has a projected $3 billion budget shortfall.
