Dallas Mayor Tom Leppert puts the rest of his salary towards education
Dallas Mayor Tom Leppert has decided to donate the last $10k of his salary to an education effort that will help students graduate high school and nudge them in the direction of higher education. Leppert announced late last year that $50,000 of his $60,000 salary would go towards a fund for disadvantaged high school students in conjunction with Chesapeake energy. So now we know what he's doing with that last $10k that he doesn't need.
