The Justices - to whom King's salary is linked - receive a pay raise each year. The Constitution, however, states that Constitutional Officers (of which King is one) shall not have their salary increased or diminished while in office. So, for example, during Governor Riley's first term of office, the Legislature enacted several state employee pay raises. Instead of receiving those raises when the other state employees received them, Governor Riley's salary got the cumulative effect of all of those raises at the start of his second term. King, however, is the only Constitutional Officer that receives a salary increase during a term. Just something to think about. From what I understand, it's been like this since Pryor was in office as AG.

I did not realize the boy was a minor. That raises questions regarding some of the pictures of him you have been posting on your blog. Very troubling questions. I still have not heard you deny the widespread rumors. The seriousness of the charge leads me to think that your continuing refusal to deny the rumors is because they are true. The clock is ticking Loretta. Tick tock tick tock. I may call DHR. I did not realize the boy was a minor.
