Heh - I bet the teachers union *requires* that he get a full union
salary...

The current Mayor of NYC may only make $1, but I think that was a
campaign promise (so folks wouldn't think he took the job for the
money!).

The most interesting thing Pay-wise I've seen is the federal pay scale,
which, as I understand it, requires that all federal employees make
less than the President, which makes between $200-250K/year. No federal
employee can make more than that.

Our Prior president needed the paycheck, since his previous job only
paid $35K/yr, but then again, his wife was a "wizard" w/r/t
investments!
