$3K a year to be a Mayor of that city. maybe even less?
Wow. I’m too used to hearing about what other Mayors in other cities demand. I’m thinking someone like DeBlasio, and his grifting wife.
Most smaller towns don’t pay much. They can’t.
His town is 650 people. My town of 12,000 pays the Mayor $25,000 a year. When he was elected, the city gave him keys to a city SUV, which he refused.
Big city mayors are full time employees and as you said, often full time grifters.
