The Issue: Oversized executive salaries and bleeding budgets at the 9/11 Memorial and Museum.
I was shocked, as I’m sure many other people were, by the salaries being paid to the executives who run the 9/11 Memorial and Museum. I am equally concerned about the amount of increase over the last couple of years (“9/11 Memorial ‘wages of sin,’ ” Aug. 24).
There is one simple way to fix this mess: Fire them all and turn over the operation to Frank Siller and the Tunnels to Towers Foundation. That would put an end to greedy people trying to get rich from a tragedy.

As the mother of a firefighter killed on that evil day, I want to thank The Post for its article regarding the museum’s overblown salaries. It is high time to have the purpose of a museum fulfilled without a certain few breaking the budget.
Aside from the high executive salaries, the issue of housing the unidentified remains in the basement is a hugely overlooked issue.
It should be known that families were never given a choice as to where they would put loved ones. We asked numerous times to poll the families and our requests were ignored.
I find it sickening that humanity is kept in storage in the basement of the museum.

I was a lieutenant in the FDNY on that terrible day. Do these people have no conscience at all?
The 9/11 Memorial and Museum is a sacred place that honors all the innocent people we lost that day. This is a total outrage, and these fatcats should be ashamed of themselves.

On 9/11, the North Tower collapsed on the US Customs House at the World Trade Center. A customs agent rescued a large American flag from the building and gave it to me, as I was the historian for the retired Customs Association.
I brought it to the museum group so they could include it in memory of the destroyed Customs House. When I later toured the museum, I was shocked to find that they not only neglected to show the flag, but made no mention of the Customs House at all. What an insult to the hundreds of employees who worked there.

Every single one of the executives running the 9/11 Memorial and Museum should be fired immediately. They are treating this hallowed ground like an amusement park.
These people are nothing more than greedy pigs who are capitalizing on one of the most horrifying and tragic days in our country’s history to benefit themselves.
They are spitting on the graves of all those who lost their lives and should be replaced by people who will treat the memorial with the reverence it deserves.

Officials of the 9/11 Memorial and Museum are committing a cardinal sin. They’re making obscene money off the deaths of close to 3,000 innocents who were murdered. Have they no shame?
Let the National Park Service take over; its officials do their jobs with their hearts, not their pockets.

I read with disgust The Post’s revelation that the president and CEO of the 9/11 Memorial and Museum was paid $856,216. Who is Elizabeth Hillman — a Clinton donor?
What are Hillman’s qualifications that allow her to earn over three times the salary of New York City’s police commissioner?

The executives at the museum need to be fired immediately.
These salaries are an outrage and a scam. I bet their jobs contribute nothing — DOGE alert.

With the 9/11 Memorial and Museum operating at a large deficit, and ticket prices skyrocketing, these executives keep giving themselves bonuses, alongside their exorbitant salaries.
Kudos to The Post for identifying them.
