Sounds like a tough gig- a lot of bilingualism is required, and most of it is community outreach. Also, since it's so expensive to live here I can see the salaries being adjusted to entice employees to actually live in the city where they work.

But seriously, it's definitely important to pay public servants well. We need people to do these jobs, and with money being the only currency (reputation is no longer considered) all players need to up their game. Including the public sector. lolz @ the BS joke.
