Senators question $1 million pay for charity's CEO
A group of Republican senators is questioning high salaries and expensive travel bills for executives at the Boys & Girls Clubs of America, raising issues that could jeopardize millions in federal funding for the national charity.
The four senators said they were concerned that the chief executive of a charity that has been closing local clubs for lack of funding was compensated nearly $1 million in 2008. They also questioned why in the same year officials spent $4.3 million on travel, $1.6 million on conferences, conventions and meetings, and $544,000 in lobbying fees.
This news story almost makes sense. In a hypocritical kind of way.
Some senators are questioning excessive salaries and excessive travel expenses. Now this is something that ALL senators have personal experience with. ALL senators get paid excessive salaries and ALL senators spend lavishly on travel. ALL senators do even less work than executives of any private organization. ALL senators waste way more money than any private organization could even hope to dream about. ALL senators have extensive staffs to do all their work for them, so the senators don't have to do anything other than show up for their junkets and photo opportunities.
