On November 4, 2024 I was arraigned in Fort Kent District Court. The case was presided over by Judge Carrie Linthicum. She would not drop my bail condition, which forbid me to be at my own property even after our tenant moved out. I just googled her name and discovered that Judge Carrie Linthicum's pay in 2023 ($148,231.60) was three times her co-workers in Maine, and twice that of the national average. Judge Nelson, who sentenced Shane and is presiding over the Disorderly Conduct charge against me, had the same payroll as Linthicum.
And I found the pay for the Maine State trooper Ted Martin who arrested me, although in 2023 he hadn't yet been promoted to corporal; he must have had an increase in pay after that happened around the time of my arrest July 20, 2024. Martin in 2023.

Todd R Collins worked as a District Attorney for the State of Maine and in 2023 had a reported pay of $135,021.60 according to public records. This is 94.6 percent higher than the average pay for state employees and 88.2 percent higher than the national average for government employees.
