He probably has his sights set on politics, who knows but I could use a raise.

he can send me any extra money he has. i could use it.

[Alienated Being]

Guaranteed if he was reduced to 50,000 he would be crying like a baby.

If he truly believes he's being paid too much, he'll donate the cash he considers excess to either family members who need money, or to charity.

The newest Director of the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation also complained that his initial salary was too high: http://www.aftenbladet.no/english/947541/Sn%C3%B8%20og%20vinterstemning%20ved%20Hillev%C3%A5gsvatnet

Interestingly, his salary now is about the same as the police man in the OP's article.

[J.B.]

Two isolated documented occurances of a reversal, or at least complaint that there should be a reversal, of the old adage about those in power not pruning down their own power. Not enough to say there will be such a trend, but it's a small start. Let's hope this is more than just a small blip.

The guy is a policeman!!

I think police, fire-fighters, paramedics and military should get high wages considering the jobs they do.

He's a police chief, right now. Police chiefs coordinate the efforts of their underlings and keep the politicans from making life too difficult. I'll admit he does deserve a high salary and benefits from days walking the beat.

and keep the politicans from making life too difficult.

That man needs a raise.

[J.B.]

I don't know, how successful has he been at that part of his job? Dailymail doesn't do a good job on background, they're all about a single snapshot of a moment, rather than doing any reporting on the serious lead-up to their stories. We need to know the real particulars, and the real circumstances before we can make an educated opinion.

I agree the daily fail is a joke, but I still think that the emergency services and the military should get good pay because of the jobs they do.

Well, here in the States, while they're doing their jobs, the soldiers get the equivalent of good pay. They run on a more socialized system on base, with cheaper housing, food, and supplies than the rest of us get. As for the rest. . . most of our pay goes to either corruption, cleverness, or entertainment. We need to refocus that to pay social servants like the ones you're talking about, as well as teachers, much better. There are a few more jobs I think like that on, but teachers is the most obvious to me, since I'm still in school and around teachers/education majors all the time.

People with a sense of guilt. Thats why you'll never heard a politician say it.
