Platinum health care and retirement plans. Job security despite massive screw ups. These are the hallmarks of America’s highest paid “government workers” – and they cost taxpayers millions of dollars. But these well-paid workers aren’t the local teachers, social workers and corrections officers that Americans were told are responsible for state and local budget woes. Rather, they are the corporate executives who worked hard to privatize public services and who use taxpayer dollars to enrich themselves with outlandish salaries and benefits. After a review of shareholder lawsuits, criminal investigations, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) sanctions and court settlements, the Center for Media and Democracy (CMD) is exposing some of the highest paid “government workers” in this report, including: • Ron Packard, of K12 Inc., America’s highest paid “teacher.” As CEO, Packard made more than $19 million in compen- sation between 2009 and 2013, despite the alarming fact that only 28 percent of K12 Inc.

  • Annual Report to Donors
    ANNUAL REPORT TO DONORS 2 0 1 5 DONOR HONOR ROLL 2 6 PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT 1 8 SCIENCE 0 4 C O N T 2015 E ANNUAL REPORT N T O T DONORS S 0 1 Dear Friends, In 2015, The Field Museum launched a five-year strategic plan for transformation. Guided by its four main initiatives, your Museum is evolving for the 21st century. On the cover of this report you will find images from the stunningCyrus Tang Hall of China. In addition to being the largest exhibition in the United States to examine Chinese culture and history from an anthropological perspective, it incorporates new technologies and exhibition design to transform the visitor experience into a personal journey of scientific discovery. The Museum made great strides in 2015 to deepen the impact of its education programs. The N. W. Harris Learning Collection, now more than 100 years old, shared artifacts and specimens with 69,000 students in classrooms across the Midwest. New digital studio opportunities inspired teen scientists, and a workshop series offered training for educators to incorporate Museum collections and Next Generation Science Standards in classrooms. This year, the Field played a fundamental role in protecting areas of biological and cultural importance, including the 3.3 million-acre Sierra del Divisor National Park in Peru and the Pullman National Monument on the South Side of Chicago. Museum scientists described new species, recorded rare evolutionary occurrences, and shared the trove of knowledge held in our collections with citizens and scientists around the world. The Museum will continue to maximize the influence of collections-based science in research and conservation action for years to come.

  • Milwaukee Magazine: Dirty Work
    Milwaukee Magazine: Dirty Work Dirty Work by Stephen Filmanowicz and Steven J. Korris With additional research by editorial interns Jill Konz, Josh McColough and Julia Starzyk Photographed by Chris Corsmeier Stephen Filmanowicz is a senior editor of Milwaukee Magazine. Steven J. Korris is a Madison-based writer. Are City Hall and the State Capitol clean places to do business? The story of Waste Management and its well-connected point man, Bill Katzman, may make you wonder what smells worse - our garbage or our garbage contracts. Richard Maslowski still remembers 1981, the year local garbage prices headed for the sky. That year, the City of Glendale's trash contractor, international giant Waste Management Inc., informed the city that its trash bill would rise more than 300 percent the next year. As city administrator, Maslowski had the sticky job of breaking the news to other city officials. "They didn't take it very favorably," he says. "The mayor called it 'a prime example of corporate greed.'" Strangely, Waste Management didn't have the kind of 1981 that would normally justify such a price increase. The company's profits rose 42 percent and its profit margin widened to nearly 11 percent. The National Association of Investment Clubs named the firm its "growth company of the year." The outlook was just as bright in Milwaukee, where an aggressive building and acquisitions spree left Waste Management's regional vice president, Bill Katzman, in control of four local landfills. The only major competing dump in the metropolitan area, a facility run by Milwaukee County, closed about the same time.
