[pct-l] PCTA rating by CharityNavigator

You guys people have 'BALLS'!  Big NAY from me.  If Liz or anyone in this
type of position with this level of responsibilities worked for the
Government her salary would be at least 25% greater, state or Federal.  If
she worked for a Fortune 500 company it would be even greater.  Don't bite
the hand that feeds you.  And as a common courtesy, it is really
inappropriate to vent this type of open criticism, particular in such a
close community as this.  Would you treat a family member this way?  What if
Liz left due to this discussion?  Where would we be then?  And finally, it's
3 days before Thanksgiving.  You should be ashamed.  I'm embarrassed.

All in favor of the directorship reducing its salary commensurate to
organizations of similar size, similar limited funds, and similar
membership say AYE.

AYE.
