How much are the salaries of the heads of French-speaking municipal executives? 769 municipalities were examined, and the differences are striking. The highest-paid mayor, the president of Sion (VS), earns 275,000 francs per year. The mayor of Vernier (GE), which also oversees 35,000 residents, receives 115,000 francs per year, including office expenses and attendance fees.
