The article seems to suggest that Warren should be paying a lot more money, but I disagree. As someone who never made more than $35,000 in a year in my life -- and who has survived on $15,000 for the last ten years -- salaries of $51,000 to $140,000 seem quite generous. Indeed, those salaries that are over $100,000 should come down. A salary of $140,000 makes you a wealthy person, and I don't see why any person working for the schools should be wealthy. It should also be pointed out that Warren has a lot of people in it making marginal incomes (much more so than most other communities), so Warren should not be expected to pay its officials a lot.

The schism between rich and poor is growing in this country. While millions of people (like me) fall through the cracks, professionals of all types have an exaggerated idea of what they're worth. If you are making $70,000 to $140,000 and think you are underpaid, your values are skewed. Try living in MY shoes for a month!

From: Warren officials earn much less
