I hae had no respect for this major or his council for years. Just look at the way your taxes go up, that is where he gets all the money to pay these high salaries to people that help him make a literal mess of the Boise valley. Throw the bums out next election. Thanks God the mayor says he is’t going to run again. I am sure he has his sights on a bigger pie, like representative or govenor. In a state wide race I think he would loose in a landslide. Sure hope so!

QSD, the Internet has everything.

Idaho Department of Labor has “average” salary information as well.
Idaho Dept of HR has periodic job salaries reviews also.

We all know govt jobs are cushy at the upper levels: Cities, counties, schools, ACHD, it’s all the same.
So if you can get one and can live with yourself every payday… what the heck. Why not jump on the train?

Waiting for Team Dave response:

Airport director is paid with ‘revenue’ from your airline tickets (and other places), but doesn’t supervise anywhere near the police or fire chiefs. That’s the reason TD will give.

Mayor COS makes more than PD or FD chiefs? Not even realistic.

I would like to know the qualifications (years of experience and degrees) required by each job and possessed by each director, and the number of direct reports to these directors.

EDITOR NOTE–You can get that at the human resources department, probably on-line. Please share it with us so we can let other know.

Don’t forget to factor in the lifetime pensions via PERSI.

I would be a little puzzled if I were the city attorney.
A job that is actually very serious and has a huge influence on the city, in budget and performance… compared to the Director of Art and the Director of Community Engagement are coming in pretty close to a comparable salary…

A law degree and an office full of stress gets you $30,000 more than a Bachelor Arts Degree???? What?
Way to go Terri!!!

POVERTY!

It’s not even a fair comparison when you don’t include employees’ PERSI and health insurance benefits as part of the compensation. That’s the golden tickets rest.

Give government more money and they will spend it- ALL.

These wages appear to be at the higher end, even compared to the private sector for boise. What healthcare and retirement benefits are received, especially when many people have to pay out of their own pocket? I guess government does pay!

Glad to see some folks can still live the high life.

50% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck and on the verge of poverty
33% unable to write a $500 emergency check
19% with zero savings

Idaho101 – I’d say the current compensation of our “leaders” should be asset confiscation, flogging, and a week in chains in the public square, before a long stretch in prison.
