Norwalk Mayor Calls Wage Demands Insult to City
Mayor Wayne Goodsite condemned wage hike requests from the city safety forces as an insult to Norwalk. He noted union reps called Monday night’s 14 minute negotiation a farce and said the city can’t afford 18 percent yearly increases, even with potential income tax changes. He pressed that council approval is required for any tentative deal and warned against scrapping revenue-sharing for garbage removal.
