Can somebody help?

[trag]

My little city of Ironton (pop. 11,211 as of 2000) is laying off 11 city workers. From water treatment, sanitation, to the meter maid, to save $500,000 a year. We do not have many city workers to begin with and cutting these jobs is going to cause major problems as talked about in our city council meetings. People of the city are brainstorming to figure out how to cut corner without the lay-off. I, for one, would like to see the city officials take a some cut in pay. For instance, our Mayor make $62,000 a year. Yep $62,000 a year in this low populated area. Does anyone know how much money the mayor of Columbus makes? I heard it's not as much as Ironton's mayor. If that's the case, we need some serious reform of pay in the city government. I mean Columbus is the 15th biggest city in the USA.
