NYP– Mayor de Blasio is paving the way for hefty raises for himself and other elected officials.
Hizzoner on Friday announced the formation of three-member advisory commission that will determine whether all city elected officials merit getting pay hikes for the first time in more than eight years. The commission will report its recommendations in November.
When asked whether de Blasio – who earns $225,000 as mayor – believes raises are justified, his spokeswoman Amy Spitalnick said he would “decline” accepting any pay hike “for the duration” of his current term. However, the mayor is leaving the door open to accepting a raise if he gets re-elected in 2017. more
“However, the mayor is leaving the door open to accepting a raise if he gets re-elected in 2017.”
At which point he will take the raise and have it grandfathered onto his first term pay. He’s going to get that money by hook or crook.
Raise each of their individual taxes for a year first.
Because all great leaders deserve to be rewarded.
Except this white-privileged commie suck.
Oh hell no. If Bloomberg did it for only a buck a year then I can’t justify having this schmuck serve on anything but a voluntary unpaid basis.
And the fucking City Council should be an unpaid gig too. It’s not a full-time job, and most of its members are lawyers in private practice.
Your Rhetorical Update:
Will anyone really be surprised when Bill’s hand-picked three-person “council” recommends a pay hike?
and there u have it
His office smells like tinkle.
there HAS been a lot of inflation in 8 years tho.
Without a hefty raise, how will they continue to attract….the highest……caliber…….people….?
Why not base upgrade /downgrade upon performance? The city is an unmitigated disaster since he’s come into office. If anything he should be paying the city of NY millions in penalties just for fucking the city up even worse than when he took office.
In as much as they all participate in actions that are purely biased for their clients, the law firm, they should have to pay $10 million councilman fee.
