Tijuana Mayor Jorge Hank Rhon more than tripled his pay so that it now exceeds that of Baja California Gov. Eugenio Elorduy. Hank's pay is now
$193,000, according to the Zeta newspaper.
Hank said he is donating his pay to charity, but his top assistants received similar pay boosts. Secretary-General Fernando Jorge Castro Trenti, for
example, is making $153,000 instead of $48,000.
The Institutional Revolutionary Party mayor, who took office late last year, never made public the increases until they came out in the media. This
followed a pattern of keeping decisions secret: He also bought 100 new police vehicles without going through a public bidding process. Last month, he
did not inform city council members he was skipping a council meeting in order to attend the Orquestra de Baja California's well-received concert at
New York City's Alice Tully Hall.

Hey, these guys are working hard to protect citizens from the mafia. And the PRI has been out of work for twelve years. A lot of catching up to
do.
