    We pay our city councilmen $6,000/yr. The “big” city of which we’re a suburb pays them $27,000.

      I think the logic behind this is that it is supposed to be a part-time job, but in reality it’s not.

        The logic behind it is that it’s a bribe “tip”-based system. The “tips” often provide more than a living wage, so it really works out better this way!
