In real life Mayors are paid a salary. Being a Mayor takes alot of time in game that doesn't allow the char to be played much outside of doing mayor responsibilities. This would be a great help, benefit, and incentive for Mayors to want to be Mayors and to stay Mayors. The hospital and trainers and mission terminals should also bring money to the city everytime they are used, as this is how it works in the real world.

If you want a salary, take one from the city treasury. Make sure your citizens know about it in advance so the email doesn't shock them. If they don't think you deserve your salary, they can vote someone else in who will work for free.

Another interesting option could be Politician mission terminals. Granted they would be of limited use, but it might be neat to be able to provide a city with some kind of hazard to overcome like flood, fire, hurricane, etc. And if you successfully overcome the obstacle, you get "relief money" from the planetary government (ie, bonus cash). Maybe make these types of missions group missions. These missions could also provide SMALL amounts of politician XP. Even having some missions that require negotiation (navigating through a conversation properly) Perhaps a mission could be to host a diplomatic gala event or something in your player city hall, and you have to get the place decorated and serve food. Somehow based on attendence, the food served, the attire of those present, etc would determine a mission success or failure.
I know these sound like they would be difficult to code, but I would find them quite interesting, and itd allow some of the mayors of smaller towns to advance a bit quicker if he was able to get his town to work with him. A small town mayor can take almost 2 years of 10 votes to reach master politician! And thats if he holds the position that long!
