Where do my Tax Dollars go in the Crowsnest Pass?? Politicians Wages

Have received several calls wanting to know what a municipal politician is paid in the Crowsnest Pass. These are the numbers for 2004-2007.

You can find this and other financial information at the following address http://www.town.crowsnestpass.ab.ca/finance_&_systems.htm



I have included the Mayor and all Councilors from the last term, because any new councilors elected in October would have less than three months of payments.



Mayor Irwin $77735



Councilor Chorney $46335

Councilor Ham $29002

Councilor Stolarik $38697

Councilor Sygutek $31582

Councilor Taje $51772

Councilor Ward $40272



Both Councilor Chorney and Mayor Irwin also received full payment for 2004 where the other five individuals only received three months payments for that year.

Interesting, but I wouldn't do that job for free either... Keep up the good work Dean, watch dogs within the system are something that should be commended and I'm sure with your perseverance that something will change the direction of this area.
We will be moving on from here in the near future for an abundance of reasons but will be watching the goings on in the Pass as it is always entertaining and in some cases enraging.
