In March 2018, ''The San Antonio Express-News'' reported that the Texas General Land Office under Commissioner George P. Bush is paying the Alamo chief executive officer, Douglass W. McDonald, a museum consultant from [[Cincinnati]], [[Ohio]], $2,000 per day under a one-year contract that extends through September. Payment, however, is limited to fourteen days per month; hence McDonald's annual salary is $336,000, more than double that of Commissioner Bush. The Alamo and its multui-year master plan are managed by several non-profit organizations on which Bush is a board member. Gene Powell of the Alamo Endowment said that the state made a good deal in retaining McDonald: "He is costing us a lot less than if we had gone out and hired a new CEO, based on the prices we have looked at."<ref>Allie Morris and Scott Huddleston, "Alamo's boss is paid $2,000 a day: But he does not charge for all the time he puts in", ''The San Antonio Express-News'', March 30, 2018, pp. 1, A8.</ref>
