The financially troubled non-profit Freedom Forum paid CEO James Duff $1.6 million during his first four months on the job in 2011, a year when the Newseum's operator ran a $47 million deficit, newly released public documents show. The disclosure comes with fresh warnings of financial trouble. Wednesday, Freedom Forum laid off 20 percent of approximately 150 employees at the Washington museum and other programs financed by the foundation. These are just the latest cuts since the museum opened in new quarters in 2008 that cost nearly double the original $250 million construction estimate.
