Do Westminster’s Elected Leaders Deserve A Raise?

During his comments portion of Thursday night’s Westminster City Council Meeting, Mayor Brian Ramey said it has been 20 years or more since salaries for council members have been increased. Over that time, the mayor noted, the pay of regular city workers has been boosted, but not that of the council. Mayor Ramey asked his colleagues to decide whether or not the city’s elected officials deserve a raise for their part-time positions. Should they decide in favor of the pay hike for the mayor and council, it would not take effect until after the next election.
