Ridge Could Step Down After Election

Posted on July 30, 2004

Awww, poor baby:

Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge might step down after the November election, telling colleagues that he’s worn out from the huge reorganization of government.
Ridge also says he needs to earn money in the private sector to put his teenage children through college.
The job of Homeland Security Secretary pays $175,700 a year, but government officials at Ridge’s level can easily earn millions of dollars each year in the private sector.
