Which Nutter staffers stopped taking pay cuts?
22 of Mayor Nutter's top staffers have stopped taking pay cuts. Nutter, however, is still slashing his own salary.
It’s Our Money reported yesterday that 22 of Mayor Nutter’s top staffers have stopped taking pay cuts. Nutter and nine of his aides, meanwhile, are still slashing their salaries.
Some readers asked which staffers are (and aren't) still taking pay cuts. You can find out after the jump.
Mayoral spokesman Mark McDonald explained that while the city gave some staffers the choice between discontinuing and retaining their cuts, it automatically restored most staffers’ salaries in January.
McDonald said Nutter decided that his staff had given back sufficiently after pay cuts and a week of unpaid furlough in 2009 and 2010. Critics question whether the city has recovered enough to justify the decision.
Top staffers whose pay cuts have been discontinued:
- Tumar Alexander, deputy chief-of-staff, whose salary went from $110,000 back to $115,789

wow - Who is Gary Steuer and what is a "Chief Cultural Advisor" - is he the guy who selects Nutter's Tivo selections?— PhillyDanny- OINK, feeding at the gluttonous trough of greed. Seems commonplace in Philly. Arlene smiles...again.— dogman5
- How many "Deputy Managing Directors" and "Deputy Chief of Staff" positions are there? Wow. Not to mention they make well over what any cop or fireman make?
— jn3 - Nutter should truly be ashamed of himself. Is Jordan Schwartz the son of Allyson?— gemini48
- Yes, he is the son of Allyson. — Esquisite
- The Chief Education Advisor, who seriously contributes nothing of consequence, makes $142,500 per year, not including benefits. And, she has a servant who makes $84,000 for doing even less.— buddy100
- "They're not raises they're restorations of cuts." "We have given back sufficiently but the janitors and bus drivers in the schools have not." "It's not a tax increase it's a realization of value." "I'm not phoning it in, I'm filling a national leadership role." "I don't need to be in town to negotiate a budget, I have many ways to communicate." - Funny things our mayor and his press lackey like to tell us.— bullrun
- Want to know how many people work in City Hall? About half the people in the City Payroll.— DonQ
- Good work on accumulating this list, Ms. Otterbein.— featherman
- Nutter sure knows how to spend money. With so many well paid bureaucrats how can there be any Crime, Filthy Streets, Dysfunctional School System, Crumbling Infrastructure, Soaring Deficits, and Corruption? Just look at how many taxpayers it takes to support just one of the many deputies making $160,000 per year. Just using Philadelphia Resident Tax rate of 3.928%, it will take over $4 million dollars in wages or over 80 residents making $50,000 per year to cover that salary. This is excluding any benefits or pension contributions. This is a house of cards that will soon collapse, get out while you still can. Last person standing picks up the Tab.— CrashTestCorzine
- Administration in Philly giving a great show of Leadership by Example, no wonder we're in a financial crisis!! The other example is Council recieving Cost of Living raises, while unemployment is rampant throughout the city!!!! Add this to the 500mil in uncollected taxes, and the city is doomed to fail!!!— Dadair1
- The— wiredalot
- How many chiefs of staff, deputy chiefs of staff, asistant chiefs of staff, managing directors and scheduling directors do we need? Aren't all of them doing the same job? (Keeping Nutter from tripping on his own feet).
Nutter promised to surround himself with "the best and the brightest". He managed to surround himself with "the mediocre and the overpaid." I imagine it makes no difference here. After all, to quote the Fumo the Magnificient, it's OPM!
— DonQ - Joe Smo water dept worker. 2009 32,000 per year ,2012 28,000 per year.Health care up,step increases froze , no contract priceless.Squeeze your nose before you talk and youll hear nutser coming out .— cityslicker
- Would someone please ask Nutter why City Council and his staff deserve raises but firemen and city workers don't?— gemini48
