Former Indianapolis Airport Authority CEO John Clark has landed a six-month job in a business development role at Gary Chicago International Airport. Clark will earn $5,000 per month in his new job, WTHR-TV reported.

Clark left the Indianapolis airport job last month after the airport declined to renew his contract. He had been chief executive for three years.

IBJ reported March 10 that former Clark and two top executives last year spent more than $67,000 on trips to conferences and business development destinations including Brazil, Denmark, Greece, Morocco and Switzerland.

Clark said many of the trips were related to his role with an industry trade group.

Clark left his job in Indianapolis with a year’s salary as severance—$270,000—plus remaining unpaid vacation days.

    I guess we could had him for expenses alone.
    Indy knew Clark was a bonus points hire as his history was lackluster. Shame.

    His title is not CEO at Gary, and it is a 6-month minor contract position. Obviously, he is living off his $270,000 severance and just taking this little gig to stay busy while he looks for another job.

    Giving his track record, I am sure he will find another airport board he can sucker into hiring him on as a CEO for a big salary and all-expense paid trips around the world.

    1. Saw the Indy Men's Chorus "Music of Gilbert & Sullivan" at the Indiana Historical Society on Sunday evening.

    2. Temporary workers are not "tools" they are people and companies that keep large amounts of temp staff are cheating.

    3. I miss having them around. I hope one of their stores is in the general Meridian/86th Street area. I will make good use of it.

    4. The Fringe! Plus, the simple fact that there are so many local faves in such close proximity to each other.

    5. I remenber, watching the toll road, being built, through South Bend, when I was 10 years old. I believe, back then that it was estimated, that the toll road, would be paid for in 20 years and then it would be free. I am now 71, what happened? Since the power is in the people, by that, I mean that, we the people are in total control of everything. I, suggest that no one ever use the toll road again, let it go broke. We the people can control the price of everything, from groceries to gas, if we would just do it. If we don't pay the asking price, the sellers will lower the price and if we wait awhile, they will lower the price to what we accept as reasonable. I would like to know why a highway like interstate 94, is so well maintained, a much better highway, than the toll road, but has no tolls. I would also like to know why, a sitting governor, with a term limit, maximum of eight years, can lease, public property, for 75 years. Even though I have transponders in both of my trucks and will not be affected by the increase, I have been and will contine to avoid using the toll road. I make many trips from northern Indiana to Chicago, every year, and I prefer the better highway, I94!
