Dr. J floated for Lieutenant Governor?
May 25th, 2010
A Newsday article has floated the possibility that Andrew Cuomo will choose Dr. Jackson as his Lieutenant Governor at this week’s State Democratic Convention. She allegedly turned down an offer from Eliot Spitzer, according to the New York Post. She could have been the governor when Spitzer resigned. No word on what she’ll say if Cuomo asks her this year.

The Lieutenant Governor makes $151,500/year. Dr. Jackson made $1.6 million last year at RPI, or more than $133,000/month! That doesn’t take into account her salaries from serving on different boards.
Even if you don’t look at the money, who would want to leave a record at RPI to try and fix a state with a $8 billion deficit? That’s a little harder than getting more student applications.
Plus, if she took it, she wouldn’t be the boss anymore…
Aw, too bad. It’s not Dr. J. http://capitaltonight.com/2010/05/lg-duffy/
