The council 'fat cat’ earning £570,000 - Telegraph
Looks like elected officials are the same all over...
This was reported by Holly Watt, Robert Winnett and Steven Swinford in the U.K. Telegraph:
"Phil Dolan, 54, received £569,000 of taxpayers' money in salary, pension and redundancy payments after leaving his post as chief executive of South Somerset district council. He is now acting as a consultant for other local authorities.
Two other executives at the tiny council also received more than £300,000 each in salary, pension and severance payments last year.
It means every resident of the district paid the equivalent of £7 in council tax last year just to fund the three men's pay packages. Taken together, the payments represent the most dramatic example of local government largesse yet to be exposed."
