The campaign finance statements are due today, but it's unclear whether the Burbank City Clerk will post them online today. If so, you'll get the running tab here... Unless I'm required to do some work for my actual day job, of course.
In the meantime, here's a tidbit: most the candidates for City Council have spent far more to get the job than they would receive in annual pay. According to the municipal code, council members are paid $1,024 a month, or $12,288 a year. Now, I realize that most council members receive payment for serving on a myriad of other boards and commissions, but it strikes me as funny that people fight so hard for a job where they will likely lose money.
What power does a Burbank Councilman or Councilwoman have? Free meals at Chili John's?

Why settle for free meals at Chili Johns when a Councilman can expect some handsome "consideration" from big wheel developer Cusamano. Golonski can run his mouth all he likes about how that $100 sale of the old Police-Fire site was "not a giveaway" and will result in "a return of over 20 million," but one would have to be pretty naive to think that such highly finessed transactions are limited solely to that which occurs in open. Gary Bric must drooling at the prospect . . .
