Alderman Aerobics: How Much Do They Really Earn?
Ever wondered how much cheddar Milwaukee's aldermen are pulling in? Between constituent calls, budget battles, and the occasional ceremonial cheesehead unveiling, there's gotta be some serious cheese involved, right?
Well, buckle up, because we're about to dive into the not-so-secret world of aldermanic salaries.
Hold on to Your Hats (Especially if They're Made of Fancy Cheese)
Tip: Read at your natural pace.
According to the City of Milwaukee's official salary ordinance (which, let's be honest, sounds way less exciting than "cheese vault access code"), aldermen bring home a cool $73,222.24 a year. Not too shabby, considering the gig likely involves a lot of cheese curds-induced brainstorming sessions.
But wait, there's more! This hefty sum translates to a biweekly paycheck of $5,666.76. That's enough to buy, well, a whole lot of cheese (or maybe a decent chunk of a nice brie).
Tip: Review key points when done.
Is That All? Don't Aldermen Get Like, Stock Options or Something?
Nope! Unlike some high-flying CEOs, aldermen are public servants. Their compensation is straightforward and meant to reflect the importance of their role in shaping Milwaukee's cheesy... I mean, vibrant future.
Tip: Don’t skip the small notes — they often matter.

So, They Basically Get Paid in Cheese Curds, Right?
Sadly, no. Aldermen receive their salaries in good ol' US dollars. But hey, with that kind of paycheck, they can certainly afford to stock up on all the cheese curds their hearts (and stomachs) desire.
QuickTip: Reread for hidden meaning.
