Governor Butch Otter pays the females in his administration an average of $20,000 less than his male administrators.
“Director Gould is about $38,000 under the newly employed Jeff Sayer. You can’t argue she doesn’t have as many employees. Our state is no different than the national averages that show women reach a ‘glass ceiling’ for promotion and pay.”-Representative Wendy Jaquet of Ketchum
Idaho Agriculture Director, Celia Gould, has worked for Butch Otter since 2007. She’s paid $106,621 per year. Jeffrey Sayer, Commerce Director (running a smaller agency), has worked for Butch Otter since October 2011, yet he gets paid $145,018 per year.
The median salary for females in Butch Otter’s cabinet is $85,446. The median salary for males is $103,002.
Oh, but Idaho is a Right to Work state.
