I have no doubt that his £130k a year is probably less than a lot of Chief Executives .
However it's not that long ago that Rochdale Council failed miserably to protect the poor girls in the grooming case. It should also be remembered that senior council officers who presided over this case were allowed to take early retirement as opposed to facing disciplinary action all under the watchful eye of their chief executive.
Now is certainly not the time to be taking that sort of pay rise.
