The Tampa Bay Times ran an interesting piece that listed the annual earnings of the Tampa Bay area’s top executives. Quite the private-and public-sector disparity. Included were Joe Lopano, TIA’s CEO, at $393,824 and Paul Anderson, CEO of Port Tampa Bay, at $382,287. That’s a lot less than what, say, Mark Mondello, the Jabil CEO, got ($10.5 million) or what Raymond James Financial CEO Paul Reilly made ($8.2 million).
And, BTW, it was also less than the Major League Baseball minimum ($535,000). Capitalism can be so quirky.
