Editorial | Stop the City Council cash grab for a pay raise
The City Council approved an 18.2% pay raise for itself and other elected officials, increasing Council member salaries by nearly $30,000 annually. Mayor Zohran Mamdani and City Council Speaker Julie Menin publicly stated they would decline the raise, but the legislation is poised to become law despite their opposition.
