If you want a good example of overpaid we had it here locally a week or so ago. The city of Bell had a major scandal when the pay for the city council and other city officials were made public: City Council members $100k/year; City Controller and Mayor $800k/year; Police Chief $700k/year. This was revealed when a part-time Councilman was being paid $154/week and wondered how the others could afford their lavish lifestyles. As a law enforcement dispatcher for the state I made $37k/year. Nowhere near enough for the job stress incurred. Seeing those peoples' pay made me angry, I can only guess what the city residents must feel.

I honestly don't see anything out of the ordinary with the pay level for AMA's permanent employees. How long have they been working for the AMA? What other benefits and perks do they get? Too many unanswered questions for this witch hunt to be justified if you ask me.
