authority an extra $146,000 this year. it's what the feds won't cover. >> you have to pay them a rate that would attract and retain them. >> reporter: and $157,000 wouldn't do that? >> not in philadelphia i don't think. >> reporter: the housing authority provide e ed documentn showing it will use obsolete equipment sales to pay part of the salaries. the houses authority sold sidewalk sweepers, duct tape rolls, electrical wire and earned nearly $25,000. jeremiah said investment income will cover the rest but did not provide documentation showing the source of that money. the housing authority's 2015 financial audit shows it earned $14.1 million from investments last year from account interests in the stock market. >> use it for what the purpose of public housing is for safe, affordable housing. >> reporter: senator chuck grassley has introduced legislation to stop housing authorities from paying over the federal limit. when we showed him what

philadelphia's housing executives were earning, he said it violated the spirit of the cap. >> if it's a good salary here in washington, d.c., it ought to be a good salary in philadelphia. >> reporter: philly hasn't been alone in paying over the limit sala salaries. according to the department of housing and urban development's most recent records, last year 302 public housing authorities paid above the federal limit including trenton and wilmington. but our investigation found trenton and wilmington housing officials now earn under the federal limit. philadelphia housing officials say they have no such plans. if you have a core mission to help low-income families find housing, couldn't you use that extra money to do that? >> i suppose we -- i suppose we can. it would be disingenuous to say if we have an extra $140,000, i cannot put it to any good use. >> and during our investigation, we also learned that some public housing authorities got caught paying excess executive salaries
