This is stunning, and disturbing. I agree with Merrill’s posting above – better to cut these ridiculous salaries and hire more journalists. Or change the name of this organization from ProPublica to ProSteiger. And $150,000 for relocation expenses? Did they have to pilot a couple of yachts through the Panama Canal?

$325,000 = 984,848 packages of Ramen noodles at 33 cents each from the Delano Iga grocery store on Van Ness Avenue in San Francisco.

Is it seemly for Tofel to go around defending his boss’s salary? Have Steiger and Engelberg said anything about it? Propublica gets substantially all of its money from Herb and Marion Sandler, rather from other donors. So in a sense it is really the Sandlers who are subsidizing these two gentlemen rather than the public. Take a look at the salaries of the Center for Investigative Reporting. They are more in line with what people should be making at these operations.
