In Case You Missed It: RI's Highest Paid Mayors and Managers
Highest Paid Mayors and Town Administrators
In 2012, sixteen municipal chief executives -- mayors, town managers, and administrators -- made six figures or more in salary, as did over a half dozen finance and planning directors, according to data available on the state's municipal finance website.
The information, which includes base salary as well as longevity pay, shows that Mayors across the state accounted for three of the top twenty compensated chief executive positions. Just two -- Providence Mayor Angel Taveras and Warwick Mayor Scott Avedisian -- made over $100,000, while the remaining ten elected positions were among the 15 lowest compensated chief executive municipal executives.
