You can have hours of fun with the TPA's searchable Town Hall Rich List 2012.
I think it's very misleading just to focus on kleptocrats at local councils*, when there are far bigger thieves in Whitehall, and the biggest thieves of the lot are the suibsidy junkies in nominally private sector businesses (whether that's fakecharities, back-to-work providers, windmill manufacturers, asbestos removers or PFI businesses, makes no difference), but hey.
* But this fits in with their agenda that Council Tax is the worst tax, which is why they do it.

I've had the opportunity to go to some of the little workshops these people run. LOL, it's a gravy train. £100k pa to listen to your own voice, and maybe divi a budget into 3 or 4.
Sl, a workshop? Sounds fun! Do they teach you dovetail joints and spot welding and stuff?
not interested enough to look but does it include people who head up those health trust thingies? EG a guy called T.. S.... left BT about 5 years ago - on a salary of about £250k - to become the head of a London Health Trust.
On learning the news, I made a resolution never to fall ill within the bounds of his catchment area. He had the reverse Minos-touch.
If you enter a hospital in his area, you will never emerge alive.
Every catchment area's like that though.
From the Rich List: "The largest remuneration package in Wales in 2010-11 was received by Bryn Parry-Jones, Chief Executive of Pembrokeshire County Council, who received £195,164 (see table 4, p.168). This was an increase of 2.64 per cent on the previous year. "
Exactly what I was voting against. Unfortunately, in my ward, the Crony Party candidate got in.
"I think it's very misleading just to focus on kleptocrats at local councils"
Just because there are bigger thieves in Westminster doesn't mean that we should'nt root out the thieves at local level, especially since the Westminster theives are in a much stronger position.
