CEO pay means nothing. What matters is how much good they do per dollar. I'm sure the amount of money they receive each year is available somewhere, and they'll be happy to tell you what they've accomplished with it. Compare <i>that</i> to other organizations instead of assuming they're ineffective because they think it's worthwhile to pay their CEO well.<p>The magnitude of CEO pay in the private sector is similarly a non-issue, but please keep my opinion on that to yourselves, lest the pitchforks be redirected toward me.
