    That is incorrect, there isn't a single state in the United States where the highest paid state employee is the governor. They are mostly coaches at state universities, and where t…

    Typically speaking, all of the wiring is done in some central location for the building. The phone/electric/cable companies don't want to make individual drops to each unit. They m…
