City Council voted to approve a 5.5% pay raise for Aldermen on Monday morning.
The raise would mean that Alderman will receive an extra $5000 this year on top of their current salary which is around $92,000 per year.
Council rejected a plea from Alderman Andre Chabot to consider changing the amount of the raise.
Alderman Chabot was calling for the raise to be cut in half, but he was unable to secure enough votes to send the matter back to council for reconsideration.
One Alderman said he is donating his money to charity..........................
Bronco Dave, always has the poor mouth when it comes to receiving provincial or federal funding, but he can find it in his budget to give alderman a 5.5 pay hike. SOME outside workers are laid off during winter months and many are paid for doing absolutely nothing, other than showing up.
Cupe has to fight for a 3, 3 & 3.5% increase over three years. In past few years inflation has been up around 5 & 6% rate, it's not hard to see who is keeping up and who is falling behind.
Another bunch of politician crooks voting in their own raise. If times get tough here in Alberta I hope those pr*cks remember, sh*t rolls down hill.
