Is compensation appropriate?

To The Eagle:

Pursuant to a freedom of information request under Revised Code of Washington to Wahkiakum PUD, I am advised that the PUD manager's salary is $114,865.08 and the auditor's salary is $62,469.84.

As of April 30, 2011, the PUD services 2421 electric accounts and 827 water accounts.

We must ask, is the management compensation appropriate for the number of rate payers of the PUD and the number of employees?
