Between Larry Johnston at Albertsons, Larry Craig in the Senate, and now the $7+ million bonus to Micron’s top executive Steve Appleton, you really have to wonder about “business as usual” in Idaho.
The latest round of stock options comes a little more than a week after the company reported $158 million in fourth-quarter losses and just months after the Boise company shed more than 1,100 workers at its Treasure Valley operations. The company said it needed to cut operating costs to better compete with foreign competition. It has hinted that more cuts may be on the way.
Makes me wonder if the state motto esta perpetua really means “There’s a sucker born every minute”…
(do you know if any of the Nobel Peace Prize Committee are originally from Idaho?)
