Button Issue: Committee Members

button issue: A previous volunteer committee made several recommendations to council in 2017, including cutting the mayor's salary, which council voted in favour of, according to CTV. I recognize that this can be a hot button issue for folks, said committee chair Scarlett Crockatt. The five person citizen committee will spend the next year studying the salary, pension, benefits and other perks of councillors and the mayor, who earn 113,325.63 and 200,586.40 respectfully. That's not a reason to do it. My goal is to balance the perspectives in conjunction with my committee members and do what we think is best for the community and use as many external sources as we can. This is important to our community, Crockatt added, that our city councillors and the council overall is an important contributor as it sets things for our city. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
