Nolan,
If these CM's "give their lives over to their work", I would agree with you. But anytime that CM's continue to work under "part time" regulations, and have other positions "consulting" or otherwise making up to hundreds of thousands of dollars, then there is a huge problem - one that they all continue to ignore. In addition, other than heading a department, what are the job responsibilities of the others who work for any CM and how do we quantify their pay vs. job description vs. hrs. being put forth - especially when we have such a Through duplicating Supporting Mayoral Staff and Govt. services devision to handle things. Maybe, I don't understand the job description and pay scale - just being straight forward.
The reason I say this is that I have Trash Collectors who ride in the hot sun/freezing cold/rain and smell trash all day everyday and get paid less comparatively speaking for WORK when I see people in suit and ties often sitting around shooting the sh**. People should really just appreciate thier position and pay. If you want more, find another job that pays and has more challenging/focused job responsibilities. It is a tough world out here.
Feel free to use our CM's Staff and educate me. How much does the rest make and what are their job descriptions? And why can't I hire 2 times as many folks to do their job at different times of the day so no one has to put forth "so many" "uncomfortable" hours.
I am surprised as you are usually more complete in your analysis - where is the other $.01 of the $.02.
Actually, a good Secretary should be able to coordinate all the workings of a "Chief of Staff" in a CM's Office - that is if you have a CM who has experienced at running operations, and who is working this position as full-time. If a CM has good people running other departments and reporting directly to the him/her, then a good "secretary/administrative assistant" works. ie. - Mrs. Mobley - she is head of constituent services and quite capable of running that deparment.
So everyone knows, this is not taking anything away from Corey's ability or any other CoS as Corey is a smart and capable person and I am sure other CoS are as well.
And if you look at the Job Description of the CM and the amount of people he/she has working for him, he really just needs a good secretary to move with him as well as coordinate with the head of his departments. At the end of the day, he is held responsible and runs everything and should be reported to directly.
Anyways, until they make the rules stringent to discourage corruption, they are just pimping the possibilities!!

If you want good people, you gotta pay them. It's the job of us voters to put people in their that are worthy of those salaries.
And the people making $100k+ are one issue, but looking at the amount folks who are a little further down make - and knowing how many hours they put in - I think some of those numbers are kind of low. Especially when people are able to leave government and cash in in the private sector, seems like we might want to think about raising the bottom 1/3rd salaries instead of harping on councilmbers and CoS who essentially give their lives over to the work.Just my $.02-Nolan

Well one it is public record and second many of them should not be making 100k as they do not on thing for their community. I feel these salary need to be reviewed by the chair.

At least the ones that have been there for a minute should be making a decent amount of change for all that work they do and time and energy they put in, at least what I know of at least one.
I probably should keep this info going, but still, why were their personal information published?
