Frankston Councillors - How much do they get paid?

So Frankston Councillors represent us out of the goodness of their hearts? Right? Well probably mostly, but just how much do they get paid? In the FY 22-23, the minimum went to Councilor Steven Hughes at $31,000. But for everybody else it was more than $37,000. Over the next four years it will be over $150,000 and if you get to be Mayor for a year it will be over $300,000 assuming annual increases.

If you live in Balam ward you will have noticed one candidate in particular has had very nicely printed brochures delivered more than once and poster boards every where. But what people don't know because they've forgotten (the information is readily available), is Kris Bolam was Mayor in the last four years.  He can afford that sort of publicity campaign as his remuneration in the last four years would have come to over $300,000. $15,000 or $20,000 for a publicity campaign is a small price to pay for that much extra income.

  

On top of this are the expenses:

 I wonder who is at the top of the expenses list? And who is at the bottom? Could it be that those at the top of the list don't care how much you pay in rates? Actions speak louder than words.
