Brampton’s Susan Fennell highest paid mayor in Canada
Brampton Mayor Susan Fennell presides over Canada’s ninth largest city, but she’s number one across the nation when it comes to mayors’ salaries.
According to reports released last week, Fennell’s city and regional base pay for 2012 earned her $213,727. She received $162,839 from the City of Brampton and $50,888 from the Region of Peel, on whose council she automatically sits as mayor of Brampton.
Across Canada, the next highest mayor’s salary in 2012 was Calgary’s Naheed Nenshi, at $201,839. Mississauga Mayor Hazel McCallion made $187,057, and Toronto Mayor Rob Ford earned $172,803 in 2012.
Fennell did not respond to a request for comment, but a spokesperson wrote in an email that the salary was decided by a “citizen-based committee” that reviews compensation and makes recommendations “on a research/objective based approach.” The recommended amount was validated by a private evaluation firm as “being in line with comparable public sector organizations.”
Betchya this thread doesn't get much traction either, lolz.
