Chuck,
You are pretty accurate in your evaluation and assessments of what is going on there. Its very unfortunate that people are getting paid on different scales. Problem is, there are many officials out there who say they would pull out and turn their schedule in, but as I found out last season in that league its all "smoke and mirrors." Those officials say they will send their schedule in, but when it comes down to crunch time are merely waiting for the rest to turn their schedules in, hoping to pick up the turned in games themselves!!! It really is an unfortunate situation. Believe me when I say, I worked with several people last year that were clueless on how to referee a pro game and the rules that are involved. Not that I have mastered it, but I think the expectations are to at least know the basic rules that come up frequently in those games.
Anyway, good luck. The meeting here in Florida is in early April.
