In response to Times-Picayune reporter Chris Kirkham's story, "St. Bernard Parish president's salary to jump almost 40 percent in 2012," NOLA.com reader mrchampagne had this to say:
St. Bernard Parish President Craig Taffaro makes $70,000; that salary jumps to $128,000 in 2012, which he'll collect only if he's re-elected. Politicians always talk about out-of-control spending......except when it comes to their own taxpayer-funded salaries.
