join:2002-03-05 | Blumenthal is overstepping his bounds a bit... Since when is it the state's business what privately employed executives of a privately owned corporation are paid, other than in income tax returns? Blumenthal seems to be on a public rampage for nought, considering that he could likely get this information in any number of other ways if he was actually legally entitled to it. If I were in AT&T's shoes, I'd tell him in no uncertain terms where could stick his salary reporting requirements.
Now, when it comes to fixing service problems I think that Blumenthal has the right idea. If customers are going without something as basic as telephone service for more than 24 hours, something should be done about it. If nothing else, this is a safety issue-- what happens if someone has to call 911 and there is no dialtone? Some utilities move slower than molasses in January when it comes to fixing customer service issues; there should be some requirements in place to force a change is this behavior if the utility cannot adequately police themselves and respond in a timely manner.

It's simple: Obama is lying about health care. His plans require rationing, and openly fund abortions and euthanization. And his continued association with ACORN only shows that he supports its illegal and immoral activities. Remove Obama from office now. |

Mullica Hill, NJ | at&t is a public traded corporation, honestly all compensation that comes from the company coffers should be fully available to current and potential stock holders.
exec compensation isnt exactly something that is important to keep secret it isnt R&D or anything highly important for the other guy not to know.
i can see intel reporting "R&D Budget" without itemizing because any project names could breach security.

kudos:2 | I don't believe it's about determining exec compensation, after all that's easy information to gather, but it's more about how much some execs are actually paid. It's no different than what the Obama administration is attempting with their "pay czar". |

If I had thought for a few moments more, I would have realized that AT&T is traded on the stock exchange-- therefore compensation information for its executives should be available. You're right.
So all that really means is that Blumenthal's insistence upon getting this information amounts to nothing more than a moronic chest-thumping exercise. Let me amend my previous position then... If I were AT&T, I'd tell Blumenthal that if he wants the information it's available in public reports. I would also tell him that if he needed it provided specifically to his office, the information would be released but at a cost. The fee for compiling this into a report and delivering it to his office would be roughly $1,000,000. We'd see how badly he needed it then.
