Title: For a city of a million, this is garbage pay IMO
Post by: theking on February 10, 2022, 04:06:03 PM

Fort Worth city council, mayor currently make less than $30,000.

A ballot proposal seeks to change that
The raises, if approved on the May 7 election, would go into effect on Oct. 1, when the city's new fiscal year begins.

Well there are towns somewhere in the USA that elected kids, babies and even critters like their dog to be the mayor of such town.

Guaranteed a job with $0 salary

I say it's garbage because that's a big city to managed. Even the Mayor of Lodi makes way more and Lodi is a much smaller town in California at around 65k population. No wonder this Asian guy was smiling when he was the Mayor of Lodi and still smiling now as a Council Member... ;D:

$104,790

The mayor is a full-time position, however, and receives an annual salary of $104,790. The mayor also receives medical, dental and vision benefits. Council members do not receive benefits.
