We can find Mr. Egerland's base salary is a pitiful US$174,137 p.a.. In addition Mr Egerland receives a New York duty allowance equivalent to 60.7% of his base. A piffling $105,159.
Now he also receives a rent allowance equal to 25% of his adjusted salary which works out to be $69,824.
This totals out at US $349,120 p.a..

All things being relative, I guess this splains why he thinks $15,000,000.00 is chump change. I say cut his salary & bennies 85-90% and perhaps fifteen million dollars will look a tad larger to him. BTW, I would be very interested in knowing the amount he has personally donated to the relief fund. I'm sure it is significant. /s
We're buying rope faster than we can use it.
And no taxes?
BTW, nice work.
Wow! This hypocrit's untaxed salary needs to be the #1 topic on conservative talk radio. Send it to Rush, Hannity, Laura Ingraham, and Neal Boortz and they'll get the word out that this liberal turkey wants everyone else to pay for the UN's charity. I think the UN just wants to skim more funds from the tsunami victims as they did from the starving Iraqi children.
Wow. Times that by all the other meaningless diplomats and the numbers are astounding. GET THE UN OUT OF NEW YORK.
