Herefordshire Council a tougher job than running the UN!

Herefordshire is the least populated County in England, hence has the lowest number of council tax payers. Nonetheless, last year our Council Chief Exec was paid £226,700 in total.

Someone has written to the local paper pointing out that this is more than the Vice-President of the US.

Intrigued, I did a few other comparisons. Mr Bull's salary is:

£100,718 more than the Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court
£152,949 more than the President of Russia
£69,598 more than the Secretary General of the United Nations
£34,885 more than the Chancellor of Germany
£102,969 more than the Chairman of the US Federal Reserve
£202,248 more than the President of India
