She also makes more than the president of the United States, who earns a $400,000 salary, not including benefits. They also attend community association meetings and go to ribbon cuttings and events.”įormer Fort Lauderdale Mayor Jim Naugle was nonetheless astounded by the high salaries - including that of Broward County Administrator Monica Cepero, who makes $400,992.Ĭepero, in the role for less than a year, makes nearly four times more than her nine commission bosses, who earn $113,608. My assistant set them all up and was there for all 10 meetings. “They manage the calendar for each commissioner. “It’s a very demanding job,” Herbst said. In Fort Lauderdale, commission assistants earn their keep tending to all kinds of tasks, from meeting with lobbyists and residents to writing speeches and press releases, city officials say.įort Lauderdale Commissioner John Herbst, who won office in November, opted to take on just one commission assistant but says he may end up hiring a second now that he’s seen the workload.

It doesn’t guarantee him a win overall, but it was a choice between that and going big (wagering up to $23,400), losing it with an incorrect answer, potentially beating Emma if she also dropped to $6399, but still being second place to Jay if he lost small or answered correctly.Fort Lauderdale City Hall is headquarters for some of the highest paid workers in the county. It was the amount that would guarantee him a win over Jay, no matter how they answered, even though it would not be enough to beat Emma if she answered correctly and he didn’t. So I think James bet what seemed like an atypically small amount for him when it was in fact very calculated. Accordingly, James bet $1399, which would take him down to $22,001 if he answered incorrectly. However, Jay had $11,000 and if he bet everything and answered correctly, he could double up to $22,000.
If she gets the wrong answer and he gets the right answer, she could drop all the way down to $6399 and he’ll beat her even if he wagers nothing.
If they both get the right answer, he can’t beat her anyway. If I’m doing the math right, he knew that Emma would wager $20,201 to give her $46,801, or $1 more than if he doubles his entire $23,400. I think he wagered that amount because he was in second place going into Final Jeopardy. “They get them right most of the time, and it can give them a big leg up on the competition.” (Ironically, this was the same strategy Boettcher employed to beat him.)Īssuming you missed the leak that made its way around the Twitterverse this morning, were you surprised to see Holzhauer taken down?
