I was perusing my server logs today and somebody had arrived here by googling for “manassas city council salaries”.  I don’t know who it was but Council members make about $12,000 per year.  I think we got a 3-4% raise last year and that was the first raise Council had received in some years.  There isn’t any hidden income either – if I want City health insurance I have to pay for it like any other employee.

It isn’t much money (especially on an hourly basis) but that isn’t why I do this.  Indeed, I am of the opinion that if you are in this biz for the money then you should probably find something else to do.
