I was surprised that County Commissioners are paid so much too.  The ones in my country make way, way more than the average person they represent.  And the scoundrel voted a sweet medical package for themselves too, that if a CC serves only 4 years they get medical coverage for life.  That is straight up ripping off the tax payers.  They should be like everyone else that works when after they leave employment that go to COBRA coverage at their own expense.  Plus on top of that the are bought off by the big money interest. In the end, it is the citizens of the counties fault for not keeping watch over these F'ers.
