DHHS Is the New DOT
2013-09-18 - by
A great investigative reporter once said, “DOT is God’s gift to investigative reporters.” Make way for DHHS.
Doesn’t anybody there realize how much political damage they are doing to Governor McCrory? Doesn’t anybody around the Governor? Or McCrory himself?
He based his campaign for Governor on ending Raleigh’s “culture of corruption and cronyism” and fixing “broken government” and a “broken Medicaid system.”
So you create a senior planner position paying $95,000. When the highest pay for planners is $74,719. You give it to a former medical school lecturer who hasn’t worked in health care for more than a decade. Who is a McCrory donor. And a Tea Party leader. To put private insurance companies in charge of a $14 billion Medicaid program.
What could possibly go wrong here?
In fairness, I like one thing the new $95,000 planner said: We need “torte (sic) reform.” I for one am tired of bad baked goods.
Recently, a Republican defended Secretary Vos, noting, “She’s working for a dollar a year.” A cynic sniffed: “She’s overpaid.”
