I am interested in finding out what tyoe of salaries are standard for
the position of CHEF for a state's GOVERNOR in the US.  I have
searched every possible combination of
NewMexico&Chef&Governor&staff&private&personal&household&staff&salary...

I think this information is public record, but I am unable to come up
with anything. Please help.

Thanks.

Hello gus8-ga,

I think I’ve found the answer for you. The New Mexico State Personnel
Board published the civil service pay schedule online. It shows that
there are three levels of Chefs and Head Cooks. I’ve also included the
contact information for the New Mexico State Personnel Office so that
you can contact them for further information about the pay rate for
the governor’s chef. I also found an article that talks about the
trend to governor’s chefs all over the country.

Good luck with your explorations.

This is a human interest story about “people in state government who
wear white hats.” and gives the interesting statistic that “All but
about a dozen of the 50 governors have a chef.”
