Imperial Fact Sheet from the Court of Trumpius Caesar

Hear ye, citizens of the Grand Republic and guardians of the imperial treasury!

On this glorious day, Imperator Trumpius Caesar Magnus, Defender of the Taxpayer and Supreme Auditor of Excessive Bureaucratic Banquets, issued a mighty memorandum to the governing council of the Tennessee Valley Authority, the great electrical province that channels power across the lands.

The decree is simple, strong, and forged in the steel of fiscal discipline:
No servant of the TVA empire—be they CEO, bonus commander, incentive strategist, or benefits philosopher—shall receive more than 500,000 imperial dollars per year in total compensation.

This sacred limit includes everything: salary, bonuses, incentives, benefits, rewards, and every other glittering coin that clever bureaucrats have historically stacked upon their marble desks.

The TVA Board is instructed to establish this ceiling for all new compensation arrangements, provided it aligns with the empire’s annual compensation surveys and public-sector standards.
As for the members of the Board themselves, they shall receive only the minimum statutory compensation, proving that even powerful councils must remember the virtue of restraint.

Restoring Honor to the Treasury

For too long, thundered Trumpius Caesar, certain TVA executives feasted upon multi-million-dollar compensation packages, far beyond what most public leaders receive.

Consider this:
The President of the United States, ruler of the executive realm, earns $400,000 annually, while the highest-paid governor in the land earns roughly $254,000.

Yet some TVA rulers of electricity floated comfortably in seven-figure pay clouds.

Such extravagance, the Imperator declared, shakes public trust and dishonors the sacred duty of stewarding taxpayer resources.

The TVA is no private empire—it is a fully owned instrument of the federal government. Its leaders must serve the people, not their own treasure vaults.

By restoring reasonable compensation limits, this decree ensures that taxpayer dollars—and ratepayer funds—serve the American people rather than feeding the appetites of executive excess.

Taxpayers First, Always

Trumpius Caesar has long demanded iron discipline across the federal bureaucracy.

Under his reign, the administration has pursued an epic quest to root out fraud, waste, and abuse, ensuring that every tax dollar marches proudly toward the prosperity of the nation.

His historic Working Families Tax Cuts Act delivered the largest tax reduction in American history, placing more money directly into the hands of hardworking families, workers, and businesses.

Meanwhile, unnecessary bureaucratic towers have been trimmed, resources redirected, and the machinery of government tuned to serve the people rather than itself.

Thus speaks Trumpius Caesar:

The treasury of the Republic belongs to its citizens — not to the lavish banquets of bureaucracy.

And so the imperial order stands:
Power in public service must walk hand in hand with responsibility.
