You think that the Church contacted the Associated Press and told them how much the CEO of a Colorado hospital made and told them to print it and the AP followed the Church's instruction?Man - the cynic business must pay good these days dearest. Well how the heck else would the press get a hold of this info? No newspaper called me when I got my mission call--I had to go to them (and then they refused to print it!) Obviously it wasn't the prophet himself, but some church PR person "leaked" the story. Er, sorry that the media wasn't impressed by your mission call but then (at the time) you weren't running a $500 million (yearly operating budget) hospital that ranks amoung the nations best (US News and World Report). When such a person resigns, regardless of whether or not he is Mormon and going to Macedonia for 2 years, it's a news item, especially when the person is as successful as this particular guy was. The institution itself makes the resignation and reason public. As a public institution, in this case, the boss's salary is a matter of public record. The hospital issues a release, it's picked up by the newswires and then news outlets that are interested print the (AP) story. The Church may or may not have issued a press release (you can check the Church press releases online) but they sure as heck didn't release the guys salary. Quote

He was a big oil man and paid for everything but the Mission home where he lived for three years, which was owned by the church. They may have been given a car owned by the church as well. But food, clothing, and day to day expenses including gasing the cars was all out of his pocket. Maybe he volunteered to pick up the tab because he could afford it. I know that it's standard procedure for the church to pay basic living expenses for the MP's family (or at least it was in my day...) Quote
