NYC City Council Votes Itself 32% Raise (Congress, salary, Clinton, solution)

[juneaubound]

While Clinton is making hundreds of thousands of dollars per speech and the Entire-City-Is-A-Urinal city council is voting itself a 32% raise, remember their calls for income equality and that you receive your fair share. It is not about YOU. It will NEVER be about you. It will ALWAYS be about them (except for the table scraps and crumbs they toss your way to keep you in line and voting the way they want you to vote).

I don't know how it works in NYC but in many places any raise doesn't go into effect until the next election.

The people complaining likely won't make sure that the ones that voted for the raise never see it.

When people get tired of the nonsense, they'll amend the city's charter so that only the people can vote for pay-raises.

City Council votes to give themselves 32% pay boost - NY Daily News

The only solution for the Sheeple of New York is MORE MARXISM. You need a more Communist mayor to make everyone more equal. Someone like Chavez or Maduro. That will fix it.

Unless something has changed, NY city charter defines city council jobs as part time. I DK about the current bunch, but historically, most council members had day jobs.

First time ever this has happened. $148,000 a year salary, courtesy of the taxpayers, for a part time job.

Lib council people promised to work for the oppressed, but padded their pocketbooks instead. Typical.

I'd like to see an amendment making that the case with Congress allowing the people to vote not only for pay-raises but decreases.
