Greedy NYC City Council Members Want A 71% Pay Raise !

City Journal reports:

The news that six city council members are angling to give themselves a 71 percent raise will test even New Yorkers’ high tolerance for chutzpah. The pay proposal, if approved, would boost council member salaries from $112,500 to a staggering $192,500. The city’s 51-member council would become the highest-paid legislative body in the nation—including Congress—and council members would receive a higher base pay than any state governor.

Can you say overpaid government worker?
