Council pay raise becomes political football in Elyria
Seven GOP council candidates demanded rescission of the 1967 salary boost for councilmen, arguing public confidence has eroded. Mayor Reichlin defended the administration as the petition prompted a heated council reaction. Fauver led the push with VanWormer Anton Jovick Bowman Glime and Sons as supporters. The 1967 raise lifted council pay from 1980 to 2770 with other officials also benefiting amid broader city raises. A new council taking office in 1970 could reduce salaries, though state law limits changes during terms.
