Hey Sen. Ericksen, heres what Trump is paying you

Washington state Sen. Doug Ericksen was paid $11,438 for his first four weeks working for the Trump administration’s Environmental Protection Agency, with a listed annual salary of $161,900, according to documents obtained under the Freedom of Information Act.

The earnings statements, which cover the time period from Jan. 22 to Feb. 18, shed new light on Ericksen’s compensation and hours worked at the EPA. In early February, the Republican lawmaker told news organizations he did not know how much the EPA was paying him for his work as the agency’s communication director.

Ericksen’s position on President Trump’s EPA transition team has prompted criticism, calls for his resignation and a failed recall effort in Ericksen’s Whatcom County district over whether the work conflicts with his role as a state senator.

Records show Ericksen was paid for 152 hours worth of work for the EPA over the span in late January and February, or about 38 hours per week.

of defunding the cleanup of Puget Sound. He is probably looking out for the huge corporations that have fouled Bellingham harbor.
