Including council members, there are 57 people in that department and no one has been laid off since 2006. Council members told The Star-Ledger their departmental staffs, salaries and city cars are more than justified by service to residents, who look to the council for help with everything from housing to bail money. Bail money? Council members collectively spent $20,000 yearly on gas for their city-issued cars. The council has a budget of $4.15 million.
