How do you put a dollar value on the worth of a public official?  Attorneys working full time for the LSU Health Sciences Center are asking to be paid more than $400,000 a year.

LSU football coach Ed Orgeron will pocket some four million dollars this year, making him one of the highest-paid football coaches in the nation. He received such an enormous salary package based on results. It’s the old adage that you get what you pay for, and with Orgeron, LSU ended the season with a top ten ranking.
