- NYC officials’ 18% salary hike gets support of fiscal watchdogs – but also a warning

The bill, sponsored by Deputy Speaker Nantasha Williams, raises salaries for officials including the mayor, Council members, and district attorneys, based on recommendations from the Quadrennial Advisory Commission.
