Chickasaw governor receives $300,000 salary


The Chickasaw Nation Legislature recently voted to triple the salary of Gov. Bill Anoatubby.

Anoatubby receives $300,000 a year, according to The Daily Oklahoman. His retirement fund was also boosted from 15 percent of his salary to 25 percent.

Tribal lawmakers were also planning to buy Anoatubby an official 15-acre estate but he has rejected the offer. �It is not uncommon for a sovereign nation of our size to provide a residence for the chief elected official,� a legislator told the paper.
