That number is so arbitrary. It really doesn’t show how much he’s actually being paid. Cities can include retirement, hsa and other contributions as part of that, greatly inflating. That being said, he made a big mistake violating policy and ethics with this.

Cops and photography. Lack of personal boundaries and intimidation. Not a good combo for models. Especially a lot of creeps call themselves photographers and they are predatorial.

And this makes a news story how?
