Quote: Prince Buster "In all fairness to Box he is on nothing like that. His official council wage is on the website and he has a lot of other perks which can't easily be found out about. He also probably draws a wage for being chair of the combined authorities. I seem to think his basic WMDC wage is around £50K.
However he still draws a decent income for delivering a very poor service to the public of Wakefield. In my opinion its not money that drives the man it is power he thrives on and when you get to see the real box he is a bully, every labour councillor is scared stiff of him and none of them have the guts to challenge a single thing he demands.'"
The Chief Exec of WMDC (Joanne Rooney) earned £175,000 in 2015, so I think £50,000 for the council leader could be a little under the mark ??
