Opinion: Doing good, doing well

Opinion: Doing good, doing well: "Doing good, doing well

Goodwill CEO R. Lee Waits' compensation is excessive for the head of a charity, which the donating public expects to funnel more money to clients.

A Times Editorial
Published August 16, 2005

For Goodwill Industries to help disabled people earn their own living, it relies first on the charity of those who donate their used goods to be resold. No matter how much the Suncoast organization likens its operations to a for-profit retail business, then, it is not the same. That's why the $530,693 compensation for Goodwill CEO R. Lee Waits in 2003 is simply out of place."
