Which council member pays the most?

The annual salaries of those who work for a D.C. Council member or on the member’s committee run the gamut from $30,000 to more than four times that amount, but much of the difference lies in who’s doing the hiring.

Ward 2 Councilman Jack Evans pays his eight staff and committee members the highest average salary — $85,182 annually. At-large Councilman Michael Brown pays the second-highest average, $75,641, for his 11 employees. At-large Councilman Vincent Orange comes in third with an average $71,601 for nine staff and committee members.
