Mount Pleasant: The 25 Highest-Paid Municipal Employees

MOUNT PLEASANT - Labor Day weekend is a time to reflect on all of the people who help keep your community running. Your taxes pay to help keep the city, county, state and country workers well-supported in their work. Sometimes, though, you'd like to know how much the people who help run your community are earning.

Are they paid very well for their position, too little or just the right amount? Patch compiled a list of the top 25 highest-paid public employees in Mount Pleasant using the most recent data available to us (2014 data) so you can decide for yourself. 2015 data comes out later this year.
