Executive Pay Controversy
In 2007 it was disclosed that the leader of the Great Salt Lake Council received more than $200,000 a year in compensation. Executive pay became an issue again in 2011 during the annual Friends of Scouting campaign. During that time, a scout leader in an LDS ward distributed a disclaimer that the Friends of Scouting monies do not directly benefit the local Scout troop, but are used to pay expenses at the Council and National level, including executive pay which he felt was excessive. The leader was subsequently removed from his scouting role by his ecclesiastical leaders.

Famous quotes containing the words executive, pay and/or controversy:
“More than ten million women march to work every morning side by side with the men. Steadily the importance of women is gaining not only in the routine tasks of industry but in executive responsibility. I include also the woman who stays at home as the guardian of the welfare of the family. She is a partner in the job and wages. Women constitute a part of our industrial achievement.”
—Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)
“But for the lovers, their arms
Round the griefs of the ages,
Who pay no praise or wages
Nor heed my craft or art.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
“And therefore, as when there is a controversy in an account, the parties must by their own accord, set up for right Reason, the Reason of some Arbitrator, or Judge, to whose sentence, they will both stand, or their controversy must either come to blows, or be undecided, for want of a right Reason constituted by Nature; so is it also in all debates of what kind soever.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
