Why? Because how else do you retain smart/hard working people? I often feel our public sector suffers because of the limits on compensation.
Food for thought, I find myself often disappointed by my peers in private industry who are paid very well, in contrast, when dealing with the NEB on regulatory issues, everyone I deal with seems to be very professional, organized, intelligent, etc… and they make less than ½ of what the private sector would pay them. (Maybe 25% less when you factor in all the perks – pension etc.)
I wish we paid teachers twice as much, so we could start attracting more people who would make GREAT teachers.
My .02 anyway.

I mostly agree with this. The main problem imo with government is everyone is usually paid the same, even the lazy slacker is getting paid the same as the productive and efficient worker that is producing 200% the average worker. Sure you can argue that that efficient worker is going to get promoted. But the top government jobs dont make much. Upper management in the Public sector is like 90-150K. CEO's of government organizations only make $200-250K. which is nothing compared to the private world.
A lot of times the good employees switch to the private sector so they can get more $.
But this is kinda digressing from the topic of Real Estate.
