Saundra Lund stated:
"For instance, I want to know what makes a public defender in Latah County,
Idaho "worth" about $77,000 a year while a state of California PD in Los
Angeles only makes $38,000-86,000 per year?"
Excellent question, Saundra.  I didn't realize that a Latah County Public
Defender's pay is comparable to a Los Angeles County Public Defender, whose
client list is obviously more burdensome than his counter-part in Latah
County.  A "max end" of $86,000 in LA compared to $77,000 here??????????
Rose:  Could you ask our County Commissioners how they justify such a
salary?  Thanks.
Take care,
Tom Hansen
