Greenway Conservancy admits it pays five people in six figures

The nonprofit Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway Conservancy, which oversees the parkland in downtown Boston with significant financial help from the state, pays its executive director an annual salary of $185,000, according to records revealed only under pressure from state officials this week.

The conservancy – which has been seeking a new, voluntary tax from surrounding businesses – pays five officials, including the executive director, six-figure salaries, records show.

The other four executives are Steve Anderson, director of park operations, at $111,437; Linda Jonash, director of planning and design, $101,614; Jesse Brackenbury, director of business operations, $137,456; and Jodi Wolin, director of development, $117,000.

The spending patterns of the nonprofit became an issue this week, when the Boston Herald reported that executive director Nancy Brennan declined to reveal salaries for herself or her staff.

Not to mention that errant e-mail.
