The pay raise that CEOs Donald Layton of Freddie Mac and Timothy Mayopoulus of Fannie Mae got earlier this year likely won’t last long after the House passed legislation this week to cap their salaries at $600,000 per year, what they were making prior to the increased compensation package. The house passed this week the Equity in Government Compensation Act, introduced by Rep. Ed Royce, R-CA, in May, to suspend the multi-million dollar compensation packages approved earlier this year by the Federal Housing Finance Agency. Royce said the bill will be the first major stand-alone legislation enacted that deals with the GSEs since they were placed into conservatorship if President Obama signs it into law as expected.
