"Gov. Haley Barbour's new press secretary will get nearly $17,000 more than his predecessor, drawing criticism during a time of budget cuts.

A public records request revealed that Dan Turner will get an $80,000 annual salary, up from $63,200 paid to Pete Smith, The Clarion-Ledger reported Saturday.

Smith is now spokesman for the state Department of Education, making $84,000 a year."
