Richmond, B.C.’s mayor supported a motion at council on Monday night for more transparency on elected officials’ pay.
On Friday, Mayor Malcolm Brodie refused to answer questions about his total compensation package of at least $362,000 in 2023. He earns $198,000 as mayor and the extra money is collected by sitting on various boards such as Metro Vancouver and TransLink.
Coun. Kash Heed put forward a motion on Monday night to have staff come up with a simple reporting tool and display compensation packages in one place that the public can access.
