  • I was Executive Vice President of Federal signal Corp(FSS) from
    1976 to 1985, during which time FSS stock rose from $6 to $20 per
    share and the Company was about in the same shape as it is today-not very good.
    We increased the dividend nine times and split the stock 9 times due to increased income performance and cash flow.
    While accomplishing this, I received a salary of $100,000 at the
    highest point, not up to $1,000,000 a year as the current CEO and CFO receive, which in my mind is ludricous.
    FSS is paying their top management double the cost of the value they are bringing to the Company.
    Respectfully, Vern Diedrick
