Just wrong: Elections chief gets $180k contract from Disney district on top of $205k elections salary
Orlando Sentinel - Gift Link
For months, the Orlando Sentinel has been asking a simple question:
How many taxpayer-funded paychecks is Glen Gilzean cashing each month?
We knew the ethically embattled ally of Gov. Ron DeSantis was getting paid $205,000 to serve as Orange Countys newly appointed elections supervisor.
But neither Gilzean nor his former employer the governmental district that provides municipal services to Disney would answer questions about whether he was also still getting paid there.
Newly revealed documents show he is to the tune of $20,000 a month.
That means Gilzean gets more money from the Disney district each month than he does for his supposedly full-time job running Orange Countys elections office.
Thats obscene. Especially when you consider that the Disney district is allegedly paying Gilzean for his expertise and experience there a place he only worked 10 months and during which he generated one controversial headline after another.
Its like a golden parachute for a guy who barely had time to take the pilots seat and narrowly avoided crashing while occupying it.
