is it ok to ask where this is..? in my town, mayor gets 3750/month an other council members get 2200/month. four year term. two term max. three meetings a month. review of materials and meetings with other leaders etc. some of them wildly had a ball. organised trips to china and bangalore to see 'how they govern high density' while distributing permits for real estate development/expansion etc. currently, some of them have stalled because of visa fraud and SEC fraud of chinese investors who handed out investor visas to those who invested 500k or more. most of the elected officials went on to serve in sacramento for bigger and better benefits/responsibilities because now they are super connected and networked. some went on to serve on non profit boards with really hefty compensation. i find the whole thing amusing at this point.
