Reply to comment by PolyDipsoManiac in Allegheny County Home Rule Charter Amendment by B0bb3r7

They don't receive a salary at all. Article III, subsection 7(a) says:

>County Council Members shall not receive a salary but may receive per-meeting stipends not to exceed in the aggregate $9,000 annually per Member. The aggregate stipend may by ordinance be increased by up to five percent every five years.

Assuming they've regularly passed ordinances for the maximum increase, they'd be approaching an $11k annual stipend.

Stipend, whoops. Yes, that’s not very much money. Given that state legislators making over 100 grand just didn’t want political competition I regret voting no, hah

lol, I'm certain it'll come up for vote again.

I agree, the general assembly is loathsome scum. It'd be refreshing to see them actually work to keep their seat.
