What your city and county pay their workers: The best-paid likely aren t who you think Hayley Harding, The Idaho Statesman
May 5 Want to make $100,000 working for a city government? Easy. Just dedicate your life to a specific government role and eventually work your way up to leading that city department.
An Idaho Statesman analysis of several Treasure Valley cities payrolls show that across the community, leaders of departments (such as fire and police chiefs, public works directors, and several elected roles, including sheriff and county clerk) consistently earn the highest salaries in municipal governments.
The Statesman requested pay information from the cities of Boise, Meridian, Caldwell and Nampa, as well as from Ada and Canyon counties. Pay information for government employees is public record, and all the numbers in this story are current as of January.
