The highest and lowest of Governor salaries

Eight governors did not accept their salaries or accepted reduced salaries in 2014:

Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley,a Republican, bypassed his salary in 2013 and 2014, noting that he would not accept a salary until his state achieved full employment. Florida Republican Gov. Rick Scott only accepted 12 cents of his salary, Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder, also a Republican, collected $1 of his salary, and Tennessee Republican Gov. Bill Haslam returned his 2014 salary to the state.

And a little trivia from the Council of States Government Knowledge Center, the average salary for a governor in the 48 states was $7,823 in 1937. When adjusted for inflation, the average salary for a governor in 1937 becomes $129,313—just 4 percent shy of the average salary in 2014.
