dancing_badger and 123CommonSense:
Thanks for the replies. My note was simply pointing to where I believed the source of the $131 million reference in the letter arose. Certainly, the Forbes piece notes that its calculations for all the 25 highest paid CEOs in its list include: "salary, bonuses, perks and the value of exercised stock options through Sept. 6." As for just straight salary, yes, your numbers for Mr. Hammergren appear correct according to Forbes.

According to Forbes in an article from Oct. 12, the highest paid American CEO is John Hammergren of McKesson, the largest distributor of both pharmaceuticals and health care I.T. systems, with a total compensation package this year of $131 million.

Thanks for the constructive criticism, however, I believe you are incorrect in the example you cite. I do not see anywhere in the Denver Post's reporting on the pancake house arrests stating the suspects were illegal aliens.
Below are the links to three items the Post had on that story. I don't believe I'm overlooking it, but please point it out if I am.

Regarding the mayor's trip, the Camera wrote about this and some other city trips in November. Below is the link to that piece. Also here is info from the story regarding the Kyoto trip and who paid:
Purpose: The Japanese government has selected 13 Japanese cities as "Eco-model" cities that will present their achievements. Boulder's mayor will attend and give a half-hour presentation on Boulder's achievements.
Cost: Paid by host. http://www.dailycamera.com/ci_16659219

You're correct. We posted this to the site early. We've corrected that. Thanks

Yes, the Boulder County Jail's new policy was developed after several inmates, including two convicted sex offenders, found a way to circumvent the "uncensored inmate mail" stamp -- which marks every piece of outgoing mail -- and get unlabeled letters to young girls.
We're updating the story to include that context
Thanks

We've a note in to the technical crew for clarification. The images didn't appear to us to be inline links, which as noted would be okay, although, alas, we editors could be wrong. We'll see what they come back with.
Thanks for the discussion.

Sorry, an issue of copyright I'm afraid, several of them here today.

A point of clarification from the Camera, Terry Johnson resigned from his posts at MiniScribe in 1984. The brick scandal didn't unfolded until five years later, in late 1989.
