The New York City Council approved 18.2% pay raises for elected officials, including the mayor and council members, amid a 30% rise in inflation since their last raise. The mayor's salary increased from $258,750 to $305,800, while council member salaries rose from $164,500 to $175,500. Citizens Union is assessing the fairness of the raises.
