Statehouse beat: Is $175K salary justified?
Some follow-ups:
It arrived four days after my initial inquiry, but I finally got an official explanation for why James Hunt, the project manager for the state museum construction, is still on the Division of Culture and History payroll: The museum's not finished.
Spokeswoman Caryn Gresham said Hunt is working on additional enhancements to the museum, as well as overseeing the upgrade of the storage space on items not on display in the museum.
