Government Wages something to think about?

In this era of high taxation we often ask the question where are how tax dollars spent, I believe we have a problem in the Crowsnest Pass of an ever increasing bureaucracy both size and cost wise.

The following numbers came from various articles I have read recently in Macleans magazine. A few days from now I will add in the wage ranges for our administration.

Prime Minister of Canada $320,400
Leader of the official opposition $236,900
Leader of the Liberal Party $245,000
Speaker of the house $236,900
Premier of Alberta $217,750
MP's $160,200
MLA's $134,000
Mayor of Calgary $201,839
Mayor of Toronto $172,803
Mayor of Montreal $156,128
Mayor of Vancouver $145,581
Mayor of Edmonton $135,694
CAO MD of Pincher Creek $130,000
CAO Town of Pincher Creek $113,000
CAO Cardston $120,000
CAO County of Lethbridge $200,000
CAO of Coaldale $140,000
CAO of Olds $174,000
CAO of Brooks $196,000
CAO of Nanton $116,000
CAO of Okotoks $213,000
CAO of Stony Plain $169,000

Note: This is why the information above is relevant and I believe that this will become a very big issue during the election. We are not Okotoks, Pincher Creek, Brooks or any where else we have a small tax base and a declining population we must run a lean efficient municipal government and administration.
We have the following in our municipal administration structure:

CAO $180,000 per year 
Directors (3 positions one currently being advertised) $105-120,000 per year
Fire Chief $95,000 per year
Deputy Fire Chief $75-85,000 per year 
Public Works Supt $75-85,000 per year
EDO $100-110 per year
HR position (Part time for now) $45-55,000
