That's to make up for having to live in Connecticut.

True. Very high cost of living, but it's worth it, Connecticut is a great state. Four beautiful seasons. Mountains. Forests. Beaches. Museums. Music. Art. Great hospitals. Great public schools. Great colleges. Easy access to New York City, and Boston. If you like lots of people (urban, suburban), live in the central, or southern, part of the state. If you like peace, and quiet (rural), live in one of the two "quiet corners" (northwest, northeast).

The problem is it is still in the Northeast and drops below 30 in the winter.

We have two new inventions here, in Connecticut, central heating in our homes, and heaters in our cars.

Yeah, these inventions are expensive to use, with the high cost of energy in the state, but Connecticuters can afford to use them, being that we earn the highest median incomes in the country.

I'm actually a thousandaire. It's true.

Billy, doesn't Conn. have a setup where a percentage of that goes to the assignor, or is $93.19 actually what you net?

For the purposes of this thread and continuing to put the staggeringly low La. rates in perspective, it's $78 2-man varsity, $66.30 3-man, $56 subvarsity (including middle school) in Massachusetts.

Local ("little corner ...") board (not the assignment commissioner) gets a 7% assignment fee (on top of annual dues of $125.00).

Local assignment commissioner earns an annual salary of $29,925.00. Local assistant assignment commissioner earns an annual salary of $2,000.00. Both salaries are paid by the local board as two line items in our annual budget.
