Raise will take an extra $30,336 from the budget, writes reader Susan Pohorly

Niagara-on-the-Lake Local received the following letter about town council voting itself a raise.

Regarding a raise for our eight council members: the raise is almost 24 per cent. Seems too high. And that makes an extra $30,336 from the budget.

I find it odd that they failed to mention Wainfleet numbers, where the council members are paid less.

Who do our council members think they are that they can give themselves a raise? We did not condone that when we voted for them.
