>The school teachers and sheriffs in my area do the same thing, always comparing with another county or district, but they're not getting to be millionaires. Wait, I take that back--when a public employee can retire after 30 years at 90% of $100K for life, that's definitely worth more than $1 million. But that sounds fairly reasonable for providing a vital public service for 30 years. -Z

I think they've learned how to game the system and have it down to a science. They all serve on the boards of each other's companies and set each others salaries and compensation plans. As the jack up the compensation, they can show "comps" to jack their OWN compensation up, and on and on.. The school teachers and sheriffs in my area do the same thing, always comparing with another county or district, but they're not getting to be millionaires.

Only you would have the cojones to complain about teacher salaries. What's next.....little ole ladies on their walkers and the noise they make walking down the street? Oh yeah, and keep defending the salaries of CEO.....they truly need your support.
