I'm not sure how salaries are agreed upon. For the size of San Franciso (population) for the mayor to be making $250k next year doesn't sound too bad to me. I live on the Central Coast in the city of Santa Maria, CA. We have a population of about 90-100k. Our biggest business around here is agriculture. The 2009 annual salary for Santa Maria City Manager was $223,943. I was blown away when I read this. Again, I have no idea how salaries are agreed upon just thought I'd share. http://santamariatimes.com/news/local/govt-and-politics/article_5eb14c2a-4958-11e0-9563-001cc4c03286.html http://santamariatimes.com/news/local/govt-and-politics/arti...
