Despite objections from Gov. Andy Beshear, Rich Storm will be returning Friday as commissioner of the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources with a new contract in hand.
Storm, of Carlisle, will be working with a four-year contract starting at $140,000 a year and jumping to $147,000 in each of the next three years.

That is slightly less than the annual salary for the governor ($152,180) and Supreme Court Chief Justice John D. Minton Jr. ($147,362) but eclipses the salary for state constitutional officers, such as Attorney General Daniel Cameron and Secretary of State Michael Adams ($129,374), and members of Beshear’s cabinet, such as Health and Family Services Secertary Eric Friedlander and Justice and Public Safety Secretary Mary Noble ($136,000).
