I'd say no to both.
A person that's a CEO of a large company, would go crazy working in a government environment like that. Plus the roadblocks to fiscal success in government are far more massive then they are in the public service.
If you upped the salaries you would still get the same boobs in office and you would still get the same scammers in office. If you bought in high level executive types you might get people that can actually manipulate or play the system better then the people in their currrently.
Personally I think that no one should be allowed to make elected official a career. There should be a incentive to make it temporary as possible (10 year limit). Give the people the incentive to create goals, get them done and get out.
There are too many lifetime bureaucrats that get in, and then follow a strategy of doing next to nothing so that they can continue to be re-elected.
