Hydro One Board of Director 全体辞职，CEO退休

[zhangulei]

Hydro One里的工程师拿十万以下的是非常非常junior的少数，退休金之丰厚也不是一般私企可比的。。你也别光盯着CEO..

它不投新项目，不做新的基础设施。。降个电费是分分秒秒的事。。问题是烂摊子早晚得有人接。。

集团腐败。反正是人民的血汗钱

 

[小地主]

你们太瞧得起CEO了，其实那个位子上放条狗也一样赚钱／赔钱。

你跟John Chen说介个试试

Premier Doug Ford may not have outright lied this week about the cost of fulfilling his election promise to get rid of Hydro One CEO Mayo Schmidt.

But he certainly grossly misled taxpayers when he crowed that the payout to Schmidt for stepping down “was zero … absolutely zero.”

In fact, Schmidt is likely to end up with an amount closer to $9 million, mostly in stock options, not the mere $400,000 that Ford claimed he received as a retirement severance payment.

And that doesn’t include the $4.9 million that the 14 members of the Hydro One board who resigned, apparently under threat of having their contracts ripped up, reportedly stand to collect.

None of this lives up to Ford’s promises in Thursday’s Throne Speech to “rebuild trust between the people and their government.” Nor does cooking “up a deal behind closed doors,” as NDP Leader Andrea Horwath put it, create the transparency expected of any democratic government.

There are many other costs to Ford’s actions, other than the financial payouts to the departing CEO and board members.

For one, shares in Hydro One — still owned 47 per cent by Ontario taxpayers — closed down more than 3 per cent on Thursday as the markets delivered their verdict on the government’s meddling in a supposedly privatized corporation.

That will lower the dividend paid to all shareholders (including the government) and make it that much more difficult for Ford to keep his election campaign promise to shave 12 per cent off ratepayers’ monthly electricity costs.

Nor will getting rid of Schmidt and the board truly save consumers money. Executive salaries at Hydro One account for just pennies on monthly bills.

In fact, the bullying tactics Ford used to get rid of Schmidt and the Hydro One board could actually cost Ontarians by throwing a wrench into the company’s future profitability and ability to grow.

Schmidt was actually doing a good job on both those fronts. Indeed, Hydro One’s profit in the first quarter of this year hit $222 million, up an impressive 33 per cent over the previous year.

The political manipulation of the company will also make it harder to attract new top leadership at Hydro One. The cavalier way Schmidt was treated is bound to discourage potential replacements. And the company needs a top-calibre professional leader, not a political hack willing to serve as the premier’s errand boy.

Nor is it clear how Ford will live up to his promise of bringing in a new CEO at a much reduced salary, since analysts say Schmidt’s compensation package of $6.2 million last year was not out of line with pay for chief executives at similar-sized companies.

Further, critics are saying the turmoil could further hamper the company’s growth by deep-sixing Hydro One’s planned $6.7-billion takeover of U.S. utility Avista Corp.

Nor will Ford’s actions inspire trust that Ontario is a good place to do business. “If I was somebody wanting to invest in Ontario I’d be thinking twice today,” Horwath said on Thursday.

There’s no question Ford tapped into voter anger over ever-increasing electricity rates when he vowed to get rid of Schmidt, the so-called “$6-million man.”

But the truth is it wasn’t Schmidt’s earnings that caused the dramatic spike in electricity prices in recent years.

What really jacked up them up was the Liberal government’s $35-billion investment since 2003 in rebuilding the province’s electricity system after years of neglect under previous governments.

Rates rose further due to the closing of coal plants and investment in more expensive clean energy. All that may have cost ratepayers more, but it paid off by ending the costly blackouts and brownouts of the past and ending the smog from coal-fired plants.

Ford fooled voters when he implied that Ontarians would enjoy reduced electricity rates with the firing of one man. And he still hasn’t spelled out a real plan to make the system work better.

Instead, he has introduced a whole new element of political uncertainty into Ontario’s energy equation. This isn’t a good start.

宠物猫竞选市长 盘点全球"政绩斐然"动物官员
2015/12/17 来源：环球网
美国墨西哥东部城市哈拉帕下月选举市长。众多候选人中,年轻的“莫里斯”在互联网所获支持率远高于其他候选人。让人惊奇的是,这名参选者是一只10个月大的黑白色宠物猫。“莫里斯”去年出生后由35岁的办公室职员塞尔希奥·查莫罗收养。市长选举来临之际,查莫罗和朋友突发奇想,把“莫里斯”推举为“候选人”。查莫罗为“莫里斯”开设竞选主页。美联社报道,截至14日,“莫里斯”的“脸谱”主页有超过11.5万网民留言“喜欢”,远高于其他5名市长候选人。

哈拉帕市人口45万,是韦拉克鲁斯州首府。过去两年,韦拉克鲁斯州与毒品关联的暴力活动猖獗,腐败丑闻频繁曝光,引起民众不满。“它(莫里斯)几乎整天睡觉,无所事事,符合这个城市政客的形象,”查莫罗说,“莫里斯已经成为一种催化剂,展示我们这个社会存在的不满情绪”。

事实上,依据当地选举法,“莫里斯”并没有当选可能,但查莫罗还是希望这种做法能为新当选的市长乃至政府敲响警钟。

虽然“莫里斯”没可能在哈拉帕当上市长,但是实际上全球已经有了不少的动物市长们,从某个角度而言,这些动物市长们的“政绩斐然”,或许比一些贪污腐败的官员们更“称职”,甚至对当地的旅游事业大有裨益。

美国猫市长斯塔布斯

猫咪市长连任15年政绩斐然

美国阿拉斯加州塔尔基特纳市近日庆祝市长萨塔布斯任职15年,你可能觉得这挺正常没什么好奇怪的。但是小编如果告诉你这位市长斯塔布斯是一只猫咪呢?近15年来,美国阿拉斯加州塔尔基特纳市在猫市长斯塔布斯的“治理”下井井有条,它的存在还带动了当地旅游业的蓬勃发展呢。

刚出生就被选为市长

15年前,塔尔基特纳的选民们对几个市长候选人都不满意,于是开玩笑推选斯塔布斯为候选人,这只带有马恩岛血统的刚出生不久的猫竟然真的当选荣誉市长了。斯塔布斯已成为美国任期最长的市长之一。如今该市在猫咪的“治理”下秩序井然,使得当地成为了小有名气的旅游目的地。

在综合商店“办公”

这位猫市长整天在纳格利综合商店闲逛,享受着阿拉斯加雪蟹等美味的零食,却没有耽搁“正事”,它的存在让坐落在麦金利山下的塔尔基特纳从默默无名的小城发展为旅游胜地。纳格利综合商店的员工介绍说:“每天大概有30到40名游客来店里看望猫市长。

尽管斯塔布斯仅是一名荣誉市长,它的知名度却超过了当地大多数官员。斯塔布斯曾登上《阿拉斯加杂志》等媒体,该商店的工作人员劳里·斯特茨说,“市长”收到过来自全国各地的信件和卡片,它在facebook上还有1000名左右“粉丝”呢。

此外,这个市长的要求并不高,只要每天下午都能吃到猫薄荷就行。

看来这位猫咪市长很好养活呀。

日本猫站长阿玉

9岁日本猫咪站长业绩出色

在日本西部小镇纪之川,9岁的猫咪阿玉担任无人火车站站长。据报道,这只杂黄褐色的猫咪,在和歌山县贵志川线铁路的贵志站长大,戴着和歌山电铁的帽子,静静地看着来往游客跟她打招呼。

阿玉的妈妈是流浪猫,一名清洁工把它带来贵志站,由车站旁的杂货店老板小山负责饲养。2006年4月,由于这条路线亏损,贵志站开始无人化,但阿玉并未离开。

2007年1月,这家铁路公司正式任命它为“站长”后,阿玉一炮而红,随即带来正面效应,当月使用这条路线的乘客增加,比前年同期成长百分之十七。

和歌山电铁的发言人山木说:“由于我们要降低人事支出,阿玉是唯一的站长,说可以要求这只猫帮忙,其实是它在为我们带来好运。”

阿玉跟着小山通勤上班,九点上班时间到了,小山告诉阿玉说:“应该工作咯”。阿玉就会自己走到车站。

公司很满意阿玉当站长的成功表现,今年一月把它升为“超级站长”,让它成为这家多达36名员工的公司“唯一升上管理职的女性”。山木开玩笑地说:“它现在是掌管公司的第五大职位呢。”

升官的福利就是公司替阿玉设置专属办公室,猫砂放在旅客看不到的地方,让它保有一点点隐私哦,毕竟阿玉也是害羞腼腆的女生嘛。

日本猫市长“银”

日本各地掀起动物当官风潮

随着“猫站长”等宠物“官员”的出现带动了经济发展,日本各地掀起了任命动物“当官”的风潮。滋贺县湖南市就任命一只猫担任市长,并开始“执行公务”。这只公猫“银”出席了当地足球队的JFL联赛比赛。这是其上任以来首次参加公务,不过“市长”显然很害羞,对着麦克风不知所措呢,这滑稽的小表情倒是萌翻众人了。

猴子站长

还有什么比一群猴子更好玩的呢?Nehime和Rakan,先后被评为日本北条町Hyoto站的站长。猴子们是由当地居民捐赠的,他对铁路乘客量的减少和不断恶化的财政状况表示关注。

小乌龟站长

日本鹿儿岛县任命一只叫“小太郎”的小乌龟担当站长,25岁,身重90磅。途经指宿枕崎线指宿站的乘客可以体验鹿儿岛中央站新九州新干线的子弹列车。想到指宿站站长是一只乌龟,这是相当具有讽刺意味的吧。似乎有点尴尬呢。

Hydro One CEO’s salary is up to 10 times that of CEOs in other provinces
By KRISTIN RUSHOWYQueen's Park Bureau
Wed., July 12, 2017

The head of Hydro One makes double the salary of his next highest-paid provincial counterpart, and 10 times that of some CEOs in smaller provinces.

At $4.4 million in salary and bonuses in 2016, Hydro One CEO Mayo Schmidt is well above the Alberta CEO, whose pay package topped out at $2.2 million in 2015.

On Wednesday, Ontario PC Leader Patrick Brown said if elected, he would clamp down on salaries at Hydro One and electricity producer Ontario Power Generation, through legislative or policy changes, though he was not specific.

“It’s time to stop rewarding the people who are presiding over the Wynne Liberal hydro rip-off,” Brown said in a written statement. “These are the same people who have presided over a system that has tripled our hydro bills since 2003.”

In a statement to the Star, Energy Minister Glenn Thibeault said the “government recognizes that every dollar of public money should be spent with good intention and thorough consideration — both need to be taken into account whenever proposing salaries.

立场问题。
一些人他以前投了某党的票，以后这个党无论事情做得有多坏，他都要辩护，否则说明他以前被骗了，他智商不够，他不能接受。

为啥要洗地？ 对于政客， 只要记住，一，没有全心全意为人民服务的，二，把政客的个人秉性和他的政策区分开来。不要因为喜欢他的政策，就称其为川爷或者福胖。或者因为不喜欢而称其为伪婆。
