Doesn't pay much for all the shit and abuse one takes, does it?

Sygattacks, Pass Herald attacks, public attacks... boy, you would think it was councillors who were getting a piece of the action from all the infrastructure project contracts that have been going on here for years under this Mayor, that have drained our reserves and put us deep in debt, wouldn't ya?

Thankless job for most, nice rewarding work for some.

Dean,

That works out to just over 100 K, for all seven of you. John's right, it doesn't pay much for what you guys have to put up with.

By the way, do you know how much the "head(s)" in administration make per year? Is this public information? I suspect one or two of them might make almost the same as the seven of you put together, plus they don't have to put up with nearly as much criticism and/or abuse as you, publicly or by the media! They also don’t have to run for re-election every four years. Too bad!
