Daily Talker: Boston 2024 Staff Salaries

The group spearheading Boston's bid for the 2024 Olympics on Monday disclosed the salaries of its top executives and consultants, including former Gov. Deval Patrick, who will earn $7,500 per day when he travels on its behalf.

Boston 2024, a private nonprofit group, made the information public after a request to do so from Democratic Mayor Marty Walsh, who strongly supports the Olympic effort.

Six top staffers of the organization earn salaries above $100,000, led by chief executive Richard Davey, who is being paid $300,000 per year, according to the list it released. Erin Murphy, its chief operating officer and chief bid officer, earns $215,000 annually, while chief administrative officer Joe Rull's salary is $175,000.

What do you think of the salaries for Boston 2024's top staffers?
