Compensation, and let’s not confuse the issue by talking only about stated salary, is easily in the 10 million range or higher for public companies.

Which public companies? The S&P 500, sure. Those are exceptionally large and valuable "large cap" companies. Are you saying the salary for the CEOs of the 7,000 other exchange-listed companies is in the $10 million range? How about companies trading over the counter, do those count?

And what is intellectually dishonest about discussing CEOs of small companies along with the CEOs of large publicly traded companies? Did Keith Ellison say he only wanted to regulate the salaries of CEOs of large companies?

If they are listed on exchanges I highly doubt they are paid a measly $180,000. I definitely do not want to regulate anything, just concerned as a shareholder of public companies how much money the parasitical executive is sucking out of earnings.
