You will see this a lot if your various cities have mayors with wildly different stats.
Ok, well that does make sense.
And on a related note, games that are NOT IN BETA explain stuff like this clearly. Seriously, this game is "In Production", and the only user manuals available are FORUMS.

We are, at this very moment, writing the Evony manual. LOL.

Thanks for the tip though.. I do have a high (76) politics mayor in one city, so what you are saying makes sense.
