Not cynical. Our Executive Directors of our relatively small 501c3 regional centers make up to $400,000 in sal + benefits. AT the same time, there are huge waiting lists and reductions in services. I have exposed this travesty to legislators, the press, the community, etc., and I get a great big "yawn" in response.
Our state equivalent bureaucrats make about $80,000 for same level of responsibility. Oh, did I mention - the Executive Directors essentially choose their own B of D's - who set the salaries. Nice deal, huh?
No one really gives a hoot.
