Tell Us: Is Town Supervisor's Salary Appropriate?

Frank Petrone among highest paid supervisors on Long Island, says Newsday.

Town of Huntington Supervisor Frank Petrone is among the highest paid town supervisors on Long Island, according to a recent article from Newsday.

With an annual salary of $158,543 in 2011, he earned roughly 77 cents per resident, says the article, in comparison to Hempstead Supervisor Kate Murray, who made $150,742 or 20 cents per person. Then there's Shelter Island Supervisor James Dougherty, who is paid $30.53 per resident.

Petrone, a full time employee, received a $4,360 pay raise with the 2013 budget in September. The town board members, who work part-time, took a pay freeze.

Are you surprised at Petrone's annual salary? Do you think he should have given himself a raise? Tell us in the comments.
