Chrysler Says No To Financial Aid To Protect Its Executive Pay

On MSNBC: Chrysler refused loan over pay limits

• WASHINGTON - Chrysler LLC’s financial arm turned down additional government aid after some top executives refused to accept new limits on executive pay, according to a government official with knowledge of the negotiations.
  
  The official said Monday that the Treasury Department denied Chrysler Financial’s request for more aid because some of its top 25 executives would not waive their rights to legal claims against the government and Chrysler Financial regarding new caps on executive compensation.

Assuming this 'official' story is true, these top eexcutives would rather protect the executive pay than to accept government aid!!

Truly incredible!!!
