The top five executives at Santee Cooper are getting a collective $86,565 annual raise.
CEO Lonnie Carter’s boost of $29,991 (up to $404,756) is more than most teachers, or alt-weekly writers for that matter, make in an entire year.
The “ironic”(her words) part of it that company spokeswoman Laura Varn points out is that executives at private utilities make $4-6 million. So it’s only fair…
I wonder what the correlation on a line graph would look like of peoples’ jobs, with “Responsibility for Environmental Destruction” on the side and “Annual Income” at the bottom.
On a more personal note, if I come home to my roommate leaving the A/C on in April one more time, I’m filling his pillow case with “clean coal” and beating him over the head with it.

This is horrible. The State is looking to give 0% raises to state employees and this guy gets a hefty raise? I think its getting closer to the time that the better state employees are going to be leaving for private sector jobs.
