Settling at Six Flags

New Six Flags, Inc. CEO Mark Shapiro will be paid $1.05 million a year, about what his predecessor, Kieran Burke, earned as base salary — though Burke will get more than $9 million in bonuses and severance as he heads out the door.

Meanwhile, Rep. Ernest Istook says he's met with David Pauken, who sits at the right hand of Six Flags' new chairman Dan Snyder, and Pauken says there has been no decision made as yet on whether to continue to maintain the corporate offices in Oklahoma City or to consolidate them with the New York financial office. About three dozen people work for Six Flags corporate in Oklahoma City, not including the staff of the two local parks (Frontier City and White Water Bay) owned by Six Flags.
