News sells property to finance severance

I can't believe the Deseret News sold downtown property to a real estate arm of The LDS church, earning money that will be used for severances of 35 newspaper employees, using a good deal of the proceeds to help your employee severance package ?. News Board of Directors are adding a cheery to the top of the cake here it looks like. The employees who volunteer to leave or who are laid off will get three weeks of salary plus 1 1/2 weeks of salary for each year of service, and any remaining vacation time they have accrued. Your acting like you are a local Utah Union, chapter LDS Church here, and all have pain in union dues and have a union card. That's not wat a Republican does, and they are against a Union. I feel it's in excess if you ask me.

Joe Cannon really can't run a business can he? First Geneva Steel now Deseret News.

have all of this money go straight to help the employees who are going to be laid off. There better not be a catch somewhere about the Top Management Team, needing a raise....LOL!!

Since the LDS Church owns the Deseret News doesn't the church already own those properties?
