So they're going to violate the spirit of the law to pay someone even more than this? Forget it. No wonder they have a budget shortfall of $1.5 million. They are way overpaying somebody... never mind the kind of pension that probably goes along with a $120k annual salary. Thanks for the massive future payments, but no thanks. Find someone a little less qualified who will do the job for the legal rate or get the law changed. Frankly, I think it's a serious case of Enron-itis when the executive can demand this sort of salary while there are discussions of how many hourly staff to cut because the budget is getting tight. When the per capita average earnings of Minneapolitans goes up to even 50% of this salary, then I might consider it appropriate. Until then, this is just trickle-up economics all over again. -michael libby (cleveland/north mpls) ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Michael C.
