If you make over $60,000 you are in the 75th percentile for pay in Alberta.
What representation of you is happening and so crucial that a city councillor should be making, what, $250,000?
What number is fair for the job?
I agree it's a tough job. But is it any tougher than, say, an ER or continuing care nurse who makes less? They get crapped on (literally and figuratively) work a physically and mentally draining job and make less than a councillor. And went to school for 4 years.
