Another dumb question. Is the city council a full-time job? I thought it was part-time. Why don’t they just pay these folks an extra $20K each year they’re on the city council and bag the retirement package altogether? All of these freaks are still going to run for office.[/quote]
They have public/open meetings on Mon/Tue. I assume they have the occasional close door meetings, less often. I think the # of hours put in depends on the council person… Mine doesn’t seem to put in a lot of hours… I’m not impressed.
Your idea to just bag the pension and give them the cash is a winner. You’re right – they’d still run for office.
