Government and council are not the same thing, although they are related. Government refers to the system or body that has the authority to make decisions and enforce laws in a country or region. Council, on the other hand, usually refers to a group of individuals who are elected or appointed to represent the interests of a specific community or organization and make decisions on their behalf. In some cases, a council can be part of a larger government structure, such as a city council within a municipal government.

Simply stating that they have more money does not answer the question, we need to understand WHY they have more money. This answer requires much more than I can write, which is why I suggest those readings.
