News, SunTrust board OK'd a 75% raise in CEO's compensation.
The profit at SunTrust Banks (STI) last year was half of what it was in 2007. The stock price was also cut in half, but the company's board of directors approved a 75% increase in the 2008 total compensation of CEO James Wells to $8.1 million, according to the SunTrust proxy filed late Monday with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

They made money, they are not on their knees begging money from Washington, they are a solvent bank that can do what they dang well please. If the 'stockholders' (not the keyboard warriors) disapprove, they can throw the board out the next time they get a chance to vote on them. |

Republics are people?
Have to agree that as long as companies aren't using public funds to stay afloat, their executives' compensation is strictly an internal matter for the board and the company's shareholders. |

They arent bent over like Citi. They're in better position to manage their company's lifecycle.
