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 administrations 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 Ericksens 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 agencys communication director.
Ericksens position on President Trumps EPA transition team has prompted criticism, calls for his resignation and a failed recall effort in Ericksens 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.
