Their mayor and three of their four council members, people they see every day at the grocery store or church, approved the contracts, and put an obscure measure on the ballot that allowed council members to pay themselves any amount of money.
And they did: collecting between $90,000 and $100,000 a year as part-time officials.

The City Manager, of this small town of 30,000 people is being paid $787,000 a year. And poor Obama is only paid $400,000 to screw an entire nation?
Quite a racket, don't you think? The cool setup is to get control of some little town or school district and pay yourself a king's ransom--just hope it doesn't get into the press.
