how much does the chief white house calligrapher make
Â· Wednesday, March 6, 2013 Â·. The Weekly Standardâs Daniel Halper, who yesterday broke the story of a government leader reminding his employees to obey the law, unearths another scandal: the White House employs calligraphers. And pays them money! Chief White House Calligrapher Gets Paid $96,725 Per Year With the White House closing its doors to public tour groups in order to save money for the sequester, itâs worth remembering some of the other costs the White House incurs annually. Like the âChief Calligrapher,â Patricia A. Blair, who has an annual salary of $96,725, and her two deputies, Debra S. Brown, who gets paid $85,953 per year, and Richard T. Muffler, who gets paid $94,372 every year.
