PRIDE chief defends pay

[Ernesto]

A Senate report is criticizing nonprofit groups that employ people with disabilities for handing out excessive salaries and benefits to their top executives, among them the chief executive officer of PRIDE Industries Inc.
Michael Ziegler, a 60-year-old businessman who has helped turn PRIDE into the nation's largest employer of people with disabilities, received $594,000 in salary and bonuses
Ziegler and PRIDE were highlighted in a report released last week by the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions. The report includes PRIDE and four other nonprofits as examples of abuse and corporate greed that could be contributing to the poor performance of two federal programs established in the 1930s to create jobs for the blind and disabled.

Fucking rich kid entitlement programs suck.
