You know what I like

Or maybe you don’t.

My favorite detail of the employment packages negotiated by people like Gee is that they end up not having to pay for any of the stuff that people usually use their salaries for, like housing and transportation and food and entertainment and bow ties. It’s almost as if the richer you get, the less you actually have to pay for anything.

When he became president of CU back in the mid-80s Gee convinced the regents to build him a tacky mansion in the middle of an empty field just south of campus. None of the subsequent presidents have lived there and I don’t know what the university uses it for now.
