The Auckland Town Hall Rich List

This inaugural Auckland Town Hall Rich List reveals the 86 Auckland Council staff taking home salaries higher than $250,000.
We at the Auckland Ratepayers’ Alliance believe that if a Council boss is paid more than a Government Minister, ratepayers are entitled to know who they are and what they do.
