Mayor And Council On Pay Raise: "No Thanks."
Apr 29, 2009 9:31 - 1 Comment
The Rockville Mayor and Council voted Monday to reject the city’s Compensation Commission recommendation that the legislators’ stipends be increased by 2% based on cost of living data.>
The Gazette quotes Council Member Phyllis M. Marcuccio: “No, thank you, I suppose is the only way I can put it. . . . We certainly know this is not the time.”
The move keeps legislators’ pay at $25,750 for the Mayor, and $20,600 for Council members. Council Member Piotr Gajewski proposed a reduction in these amounts (to $19,000 and $15,000 respectively), which he said would save the City $30,000 per year. His proposal failed for lack of a second.
