Common councilors will not be taking a 5 per cent pay cut–as proposed by colleague Patty Higgins. She put forward the motion during last night’s meeting as a symbolic gesture to city staff who are facing a two-year wage freeze.
The pay cut was voted down by only one vote–after five councilors and the mayor argued it was not necessary because they have not received a pay increase in 8 years.
