Compensation

The local public radio station has gotten their tail caught in a crack over how much the fund raising arm of the organization pays its the guy in charge of fund raising.  $400,000 is a lot of money to pay anybody in a non profit organization.  I remember Mr. Peyton when he was a founder of the Miami Runners Club.

The Miami Herald wrote a story about grumbling on the WLRN Board and the School Board about Mr. Peyton's package.

It would seem a lot of money to pay for an advertising sales person and maybe even a lot of money to pay someone who runs an advertising agency.

A long time ago I was the advertising manager for the University of Miami Student Newspaper.  At the time it was a very good job and if you had a good product, in a good market and limited competition the advertisers came to you and there was very little selling going on.

National Public Radio is a really nice franchise, but I'm of the opinion that Mr. Peyton has been overpaid and under performed.  The fund raisers seem interminable and now that the guy's commissions are known it's going to be rough sledding even though the audience likes the programming and news provided the community.  All told if you can pay someone this amount of money, the argument for public funding of the station is blown out of the water.

I don't think the award winning Superintendent of Schools in Miami makes as much as this guy, although he now has a pretty good argument for a bump in his salary,
