The Subject: The Submit's exposés on government salaries on the Central Park Conservancy and 9/11 Museum.
The fats cats are actually raking it in at tax-exempt nonprofits, and The Submit's exposés have been particularly ironic for coming so near Labor Day (“Verdant pastures,” Sept. 2).
The comfortable jobs and inflated salaries of Park Conservancy and 9/11 Memorial execs make blindingly clear the distinction between doing good and doing effectively.

The Submit devoted a canopy web page to an assault on the administration of the Central Park Conservancy, which rescued Central Park from a state of decay and made it into the best city park on the planet.
The compensation packages cited are not at all extraordinary within the aggressive New York market when managing an enterprise of the scope of Central Park with unquestioned success.
In reality, the administration of the Conservancy has produced a tremendous return on funding in making Central Park an excellent amenity for all and an financial engine for the town. To assault those that have contributed a lot to a constructive narrative of unimaginable success is, to place it mildly, ignorant and damaging.

In some circumstances, giant nonprofits give their workers and government workers ridiculously excessive salaries. Politicians really feel they're doing a great job for the group. Often, the those that they owe favors get the job.
There's little or no oversight and no pores and skin within the recreation. It's a ripoff for taxpayers. Personal possession is the one method to go. Personal firms present the required providers and are held accountable. Nonprofits might care much less — they're a rip-off.

You New York Metropolis voters should be pleased with yourselves for electing Democratic politicians who love to offer away your tax {dollars}. Thank God for The Submit for uncovering the salaries which might be given to the 9/11 nonprofit commissioners and the Central Park executives.

Tens of millions for millionaires? Smells like cronyism. Maybe eliminate parasites like Central Park Conservancy CEO Elizabeth Smith and use the cash for twenty-four/7 safety, so all of us can benefit from the park safely after darkish.

The Subject: Michael Goodwin's argument that New York Metropolis wants a brand new mayor like Rudy Giuliani.
Rudy Giuliani could have been an awesome mayor of New York Metropolis, however the Medal of Freedom is meant to be awarded to “people who've made particularly meritorious contributions to the safety or nationwide pursuits of the USA” (“We now want a mayor like Rudy,” Michael Goodwin, Sept. 3).
On Jan. 6, 2021, Giuliani helped incite the Capitol riot by warming up the group for Donald Trump's “In the event you don't battle like hell, you're not going to have a rustic” remark along with his personal statements: “Let's have trial by fight” and “We're going to battle to the very finish.”
The one medal Giuliani deserves to obtain is a “Medal of Incitement.”

In the event you're sufficiently old, you're fortunate to have witnessed true management and the potential of an awesome New York Metropolis below Rudy Giuliani. Gone have been the open-air drug customers and fare beaters, and the sense of dread one feels at this time whereas working in or visiting the town.
New York thrived below the management of Giuliani and Mike Bloomberg, however it all unraveled rapidly when incompetent Invoice de Blasio took workplace. The slide continues at this time. One can solely think about what's in retailer below the unqualified, inexperienced socialist Zohran Mamdani.
