He is paid $280,900 in straight salary. 

He gets another $23,320 for “professional development expenses.” He does not document how he spends this – just takes as a cash salary add-on. 

He gets a free car with all costs paid.

He gets a $12,720 retirement add-on, to top off his regular PERS account.

He gets an all expenses paid mansion in Eugene, Treetops, which he uses about 4 nights a month, at a cost to the state of over $50,000 a year.

We pay about $7,000 for his maid service.

He gets another $26,000 in housing allowance to pay the mortgage on his own house, in Portland.

He charges the state $52 a day for his personal food while he’s in Portland.
