City Dads Weigh Court Fight Over Firefighter Pay Boosts
City Hall contemplates a court challenge to block a possible special election on pay raises for Austin firefighters and police. The legal department awaits petitions to be presented to the City Council under a charter provision allowing voters to demand an ordinance or a referendum. Officials oppose targeted raises without broader salary reviews though no one disputes deserving raises. City budget notes show no funds set aside for increases, amplifying opposition to a rapid pay boost.
