    WANTED: Chief executive to lead large organization of 4,000 employees, providing service to 1.66 million customers on an annual operating budget of $981 million – unless government-appointed lawyers show up and suck hundreds of millions out of the organization and severely limit your ability to lead. Salary range: $200,000-$300,000. That’s what the Indeed ad for Phoenix police chief would look like if the city’s HR department was being truthful.
