What Pat Paid Them

What did Governor McCrory pay the DHHS Gold Dust Twins when he was spending his money, not the taxpayers’?
 
A curious TAPster decided to find out. The answer: You (the taxpayer) are paying the two 24-year-olds a lot more than Pat did. Maybe twice as much.
 
The TAPster looked at McCrory’s campaign reports for 3rd and 4th quarters of 2012 on the State Board of Elections website.
 
Ricky Diaz was paid $3,410 per month. Matt McKillip, $2,786 per month.
 
Now Diaz makes $85,500 a year. McKillip, $87,500.
 
That’s something north of $7,000 a month. You do the math.
 
Politicians like to say they’ll spend the taxpayers’ money like it’s their own. McCrory spends your money twice as fast.
 
Will Republican legislators let this stand?
