Bilandic backs off alderman pay raise push
Chicago mayor Michael Bilandic appears to withdraw support for a 60 percent alderman pay hike amid White House criticism and public outcry. He plans to urge a smaller raise to $28 000 annually under a budget amendment and resume talks with council leaders to fit a 7 percent annual increase within the new four year term. Alderman Wilson Frost said he would contact the president’s inflation adviser to defend the larger raise. Separate lawsuits seek to stop increases for state legislators and Cook County commissioners as unconstitutional since approved after the November elections.
