Valgkomiteen i Norges Skiforbund har foran helgens skiting foreslått å kappe godtgjørelsen til skipresidenten fra 1,98 til 1,5 millioner kroner.
Det kommer fram i valgkomiteens innstilling. Bakgrunnen for det foreslåtte grepet oppgis å være skiforbundets krevende økonomiske situasjon og “et behov for å vise moderasjon” i godtgjørelsen.
«Dette nivået vurderes fortsatt som en god og rimelig godtgjørelse for et ansvarskrevende verv, hvor veldig mange helger, i det minste vinterstid går med til representasjonsoppgaver og jobbing», skriver valgkomiteen.
Endringen som foreslås, innebærer at skipresidentens godtgjørelse reduseres med 24,14 prosent og settes til 11 ganger grunnbeløpet i folketrygden – mot 14,5 ganger i dag.
Skipresidentens nye lønn vil dermed være 1.502.039 – en reduksjon på 477.921 fra dagens nivå.
Samtidig foreslår valgkomiteen at visepresidenten i forbundet skal få to ganger grunnbeløpet i honorar. Det betyr at visepresidentens kompensasjon går ned i antall kroner, fra 296.994 til 273.098 kroner, men opp i prosentsats, fra 15 til 18,2 prosent av presidentens honorar.
De øvrige styremedlemmene skal som før honoreres med 0,5 ganger grunnbeløpet. Det utgjør 68.275 kroner i året. (NTB)

The New York Knicks extended their remarkable playoff winning streak to 12 games with a commanding 105-95 victory over the San Antonio Spurs in Game 1 of the NBA Finals.

With this victory, the Knicks are now just three wins away from capturing their first NBA title since 1973. The Spurs, who had previously eliminated the defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder, were unable to contain the surging Knicks offense as Brunson's brilliance proved to be the difference maker in the series opener.
