That was reported....then it goes on to say we paid up his last year because we need to get the wage bill down....
.
Reported where? I must have missed that . However there is a big difference between wanting a fee and getting it. I can't believe we paid up his whole last year. That would make no sense.... Have now found the reports. It does say the six figure fee wanted was prohibitive. I would take ' last year paid up to reduce the wage bill' with a pinch of salt.
