Here in Seattle area the salary of only $130k for director of anything in IT sounds made up. You will be lucky to hire an entry level software engineer for local government for that money.
You gotta remember this is public sector, so the salaries are already about half what they are in the private sector to begin with. But we get a pension (whoopty do). Plus the Detroit Metro area isn't really the bustling tech hub that Seattle is. The starting salary on this job is about twice what I make per year and I'd consider myself middle middle class. Also probably helps that we don't have kids.
I get it that it is public sector. I think the main difference is the cost of living between Seattle and Detroit. Here is an example of the Seattle government tech job: https://www.governmentjobs.com/careers/kingcounty/jobs/4958793/technical-analyst-systems-administrator-functional-analyst-iii
Career Service, Full Time, 40 hrs/week - $108,638.40 - $131,352.00 Annually
P.S. For private sector you can x2 to x3 these numbers in Seattle area...
