Department Heads Outpace Mayor's Salary

All but one city department head will make more than the mayor next year, according to Mayor Dan Mylott's budget recommendations. A number of department leaders will make 50 percent more than the mayor's $60,000 salary. Also, many department heads will receive raises of 8 percent or more next year, which is far more than the 2 percent raises negotiated with many unions over the last year by Mylott.
