The fired former head of the Idaho Department of Transportation has reached a settlement with the state that will pay her $750,000, according to a story in the Idaho Statesman. She said in a lawsuit that she was fired without cause and for political reasons.
Pam Lowe, who now works in the transportation division for the state of Delaware, will receive $562,500 in $5,000 monthly installments for 10 years beginning in October 2013. The remaining money will go for legal fees.
The settlement also requires the state transportation department to write a letter stating she performed satisfactorily during her time with the department and that neither side may say anything about each other.

It shouldn’t be this hard to get rid of a bureaucrat … obviously it is !!!!!!!!!
nice settlement and on top of that a good PERSI state retirement. I wished I would have gotten something when I left retail store management, other than a kick in the seat of the pants for 20 years of work. That settlement comes right out the taxpayers wallet.
Ummmmm … $562,500 isn’t the correct figure if she is getting $5,000 per month.
$5,000 times 12 months times 10 years = $600,000.
You guys keep adding like that and the error-prone hacks at the Idaho Statesman will try to hire you.
If you can’t do simple match, use a calculator. Or buy an abacus.
Thanks.
