Sen. Bill Heath hides behind office equipment

Hide & Seek The fallout from Chip Rogers’ $150,000 per year, taxpayer-funded job keeps getting bigger. Last week, State Sen. Bill Heath was so tired of hearing from taxpayers asking for GPB to fire Chip Rogers that he sent a nasty email to thousands of Georgians.

$150,000 This is the first number you’ll need to begin adding the total cost of what Gov. Nathan Deal spent to ease Chip Rogers’ hasty departure from the State Senate. It’s a number that Gov. Deal must think is fair, but he hasn’t bothered to explain his mysterious reasons to voters who are paying the growing bill. You see, Gov. Deal arranged the job for Chip. Chip’s GPB salary is a huge raise from his $17,000 per
