You think this is a lot? Wait till the city starts providing a full year’s salary to execs as severance pay.

[Samuel B. Parker @SamuelParkerRTD]

UPDATE: officials say Clay will get $549,000.

Why does the RTD run a special announcement about the ending of an inanimate object, but nothing about its layoffs of journalists themselves?

[Graham Moomaw @gmoomaw]
