The saying "the rich get richer" can also apply to local government in Metro Vancouver, it turns out. An analysis by CBC News of the 10 highest paid employees in every Metro Vancouver municipality showed an average salary increase of $3,600 from 2018 to 2019, from $187,379 to $190,956. The highest paid employee in the region was once again Vancouver city manager Sadhu Johnston, who made $362,852, up from $350,003 in 2018. The numbers include people in local fire departments, but not local police departments, which are not included in the legislation. The numbers match a previous analysis of the lack of diversity in senior leadership positions at Metro Vancouver city halls.
