Who is the highest paid official in the District?
Not Mayor Vincent Gray. City Administrator Allen Lew enjoys the biggest paycheck in city government, taking home $295,000 a year. The salary of Lew, who runs the government on a day-to-day basis, is higher than that of Vice President Biden, who makes $230,700 annually. Gray earns $200,000 a year and trails several other top leaders, including Metropolitan Police Chief Cathy Lanier and D.C. Public Schools Chancellor Kaya Henderson.
