The Arkansas Lottery Commission voted today to cap the next commission director’s salary at $175,000, according to Arkansas News.
The maneuver will effectively put the new director at the top of the food chain at just above Chairman Dianne Lamberth of Batesville who earns $153,000 but not nearly at the almost-embarrassing $324,000-mark alloted to former Director Ernie Passailaigue, who resigned in September 2011 under a hail of issues raining down on the lottery.
Interviews will begin Saturday and Sunday and finish up on Feb. 20, the commissioners said.
