Default Re: Forbes: McClendon 3rd Highest Paid CEO

It's not uncommon for CEO's to make ridiculous amounts of money annually. Keep in mind, most of that is on paper like flintysooner has pointed out. His net worth can tank as quickly as he gained it. Look how many high-paying jobs he has created on Western Ave. alone. Close to 3000 well paid jobs and his employees get excellent benefits.

I'm sorry, but our tax for the Ford Center was not a "raise". I agree with the principle behind it some are making "tax break for the rich". But I'm sorry, if we want the NBA or any major league sport, this is the rules. If you can't play by the rules, then don't play. I know myself and most posters and citizens in OKC, want to play!! The vote passed by a large margin.
