As long as a state legislator is providing services to a city in a capacity other than as a legislator and as long as the prohibition on honoraria is not applicable, a state legislator may accept a salary for working for a city. Whether funds come from a public or private source is irrelevant to the application of the honorarium provision. Under the prohibition on honoraria a legislator could not accept a fee for teaching if the legislator would not have been asked to speak but for his position as a legislator, regardless of whether the payment comes from a public or private source.
