Birmingham city council raises their part time pay from $15,000 to $50,000 + $10K allotted expenses

Sounds as ridiculous as some city councils during Reconstruction. :)

Giving the next Birmingham City Council members a pay raise is not only what's best for the city, but will also offer fair compensation for a part-time job with full-time responsibilities, Council President Johnathan Austin said Tuesday.

At last week's meeting, council members passed an ordinance to raise the annual salary from $15,000 to $50,000, effective in 2017. The increase, combined with slightly less than $10,000 allotted for expenses per council member, means the job will pay nearly $60,000.

The median household income for Birmingham is $31,467, according to U.S. Census figures.

  2. It is Reconstruction 2.0 or 3.0 as in we've seen this before and when reading history on the goings-on after the WBTS it seems they read it too!

  3. That white guy in the back looks pissed. He's probably realizing he's gotta pay for the raises.

  4. Those who mean to be our masters think they're underpaid. With any luck, they'll be justly rewarded for all their efforts. After all, compensation should match performance, right?

    2. They had to dispose of all that silly debt so they could afford the raises. Just a simple business decision, that's all.
