According to the news break at 11 A.M. she will be paid more than three times her present salary.

You suppose there aren't at least a couple of better qualified educators/pro bureaucrats who aren't saying, "WTF?" seeing the job they thought they'd be a shoe-in for, suddenly evaporate? They probably know why/who chose to hire her too...
Watch for mystery large salary increases in the public numbers, and you'll know who got stiffed, probably.
