- Description/Excerpt: Jason Clayworth and Melissa Walker of the Des Moines Register used local payroll data to show that "city managers and administrators in the Des Moines area and other large Iowa cities tend to be paid well above the national average - some by more than nearly double the national average." Bonuses and perks such as retention payments boost the incomes of city officials; a state lawmaker has called for banning bonuses to all state workers. A database of municipal officials' salaries is also available.
