No body is suggesting they can do the job better. Read a little before popping off. What we want to know is how such a salary is justified? On what basis is it determined? If it is based strictly on equivalency then I cry foul. That's a hell of a lot of money to pay someone to run a utility. Maybe he's worth it. I don't know. That's why I'm open to anyone showing me how compensation works in this industry and if it makes sense fine, I'll accept that. So far no one has really come forward with that explanation. I still smell something rotten here.
