(See: http://www.journal-news.com/news/news/hospital-executive-compensation-increases-for-reti/nTQQw/). For 2011, that does seem kind of high for an executive of a non-profit Catholic system who now proclaims "Our name change reinforces our fidelity to our powerful message – of compassionate, quality healthcare – bringing God’s mercy to the poor and under-served. As Pope Francis shares “the Lord’s most powerful message (is) mercy.” (See: http://www.mercy.com/corporate/message-from-ceo.aspx) Finally, isn't a lawsuit for libel a bit extreme when the union's campaign basically stated their opinion (that is, that Connelly is greedy), but did not apparently allege any facts, much less false facts? <br /><br />Roy M Poses MDhttp://hcrenewal.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
