Dear Editor:

Official Carmel public servant salaries posted with the state show Carmel in imbalance.

The mayor is paid $177,508.

Some 31 city employees make more than she, and 23 of them make more than $200,000 a year.

The capper makes $312,646 according to data the city lists with the Indiana Department of Local Government Finance.
