Why not both?
Seriously, the fact remains that we can't get good people to run for council because it doesn't pay enough. Sure the mayor makes 125K or whatever his salary is but he is not there for the money - he made his money years ago - he is there because he wants to be mayor. Being a councillor is not seen in such high regard so it is unlikely an idealist would work so much for so little.
Heck, firemen, cops, nurses make 100K or close to it these days.
