Do the math, as I’m sure all PAN readers did the same thing when they read the above article.

According to your article, City of White Rock’s total payroll is $12,939,556, with a population of 20,000.

White Rock’s payroll cost per resident: $646.98.

City of Surrey’s total payroll is $185.2 million, with a population of 500,000.

Surrey’s payroll cost per resident: $370.40.

‘Nuff said.
