A new Treasury Department plan to regulate executive pay at the seven top companies to receive government bailout money will call for cuts in cash payouts that average 90 percent, the
New York Times reports. The new rules will apply to the 25 highest-paid executives at Citigroup, Bank of America, the American International Group, General Motors, Chrysler and the financing arms of the two automakers. Cash executives would have received this year will be replaced with company stock that cannot be sold immediately.
Our New Approach to Comments
In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers –
a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around.
