Hum, this article reads State law sets the lottery director's maximum salary at $141,603, but the director can be paid up to $354,000 if approved by a legislative committee.

Confusing, the above makes it appear that the current Director can one year begin being paid in the mid $300Ks annual salary (before any potential bonus) again ... which would mean that nothing limiting ever happened for this state government linked position

Tennessee will take your Director and erect huge Italian Marble Obelisks in his honor if you'll take our Director.

Part of me agrees with this but the other part of me argues that they should get a high salary because they cannot participate in the lottery so they are essentially giving up the chance to win millions of dollars themselves.

Smart move by the Lottery Commission. Particularly in this era of unprecedented economic downturn.

Congratulations Arkansas for using common sense in this very publicly perceived sector of your government

The commission voted to set the maximum salary for the next director at $175,000. The nine-member commission plans to begin interview candidates this weekend for the opening left by former director Ernie Passailaigue, who resigned in September after criticism over his management of the games.
