Arlington County Board Members Set Higher Salary Ceiling
The online Arlington Sun-Gazette reported yesterday:
“County Board members on Jan. 30 voted to pay themselves up to 45 percent more over the next four years, but resisted the temptation to boost salaries even higher despite an apparent disinterest in the subject by the public.
"Acting in accordance with a new state regulation, board members voted 5-0 to set their maximum pay level through 2011 at $49,000 annually. Currently, board members are paid $33,723 per year.”
Guess all that spending they had to do as a result of all those windfall taxes they collected since 2000 makes them work harder.
For more detail about they salaries, see item 34 of the Board's January 30 meeting.
