For clarity because at least for me, there’s a paywall…

> Former state Housing Secretary Josh Saal, who resigned under political pressure last month

> But he was criticized by top lawmakers for moving too slowly to put $250 million in budgeted federal funds for housing programs into action and for missing administrative deadlines.

> McKee announced Saal's resignation Jan. 11, less than a year after he was hired.

> Saal, who made $174,565 last year and $22,014 in January, will also receive $5,614 in unused vacation time, and the state will pay for his health insurance for three months

> The consulting contract provides Saal a minimum of 20 hours of work per week, meaning that by April 25 he would make at least $27,000 under the deal. The contract does not include a maximum of hours he can work, but sources familiar with the Housing Department indicated he was not expected to work full time over the three month period. If he did and worked 40 hours per week, he would receive more than $54,000 over three months.
