Taxpayers forked out almost £2.5million in wages for just 19 Glasgow jobs.
The eye-watering wage bill includes £224,690 paid to the city council's chief executive Annemarie O'Donnell, who is currently facing a record £119million budget shortfall.
Her basic wage accounts for £188,128 of her earnings, with the extra £36,562 paid to cover additional duties carried out during the council elections earlier this year.
