Why no way?

Who would you say is more valuable to their station than he is to Fox 8? He's done some really incredible work over the past 10 years. I'm sure he didn't leave WWL for just a few dollars.

Lee is most definitely the highest paid anchor in the Nola area, if not state. I hadn't seen anyone better than him. I'm sure his security detail costs Benson a shite ton a year just to keep him alive after the dirt he's dug up on folks in his career.

Because this is New Orleans. People like warm and friendly familiar faces. That is what gets you paid more. Yeah, Lee is familiar but he's still young. I'd say Sally and Eric are making more than him. Jim Henderson is probably making more than him.
