They want how much of a raise?
From the Daily News:
Poverty-crying City Council members are quietly plotting for a massive pay raise that will bring their six-figure salaries up to a whopping $192,500 — a 71% windfall — as cops face a proposed 1% hike, and firefighters will only see a 2.5% bump this year, sources told the Daily News.
More than half a dozen Council members — who earn base pay of $112,500 — have been holding hush-hush meetings to try to engineer the huge raises, which would bring their salaries above those of the governor and members of Congress, multiple Council sources said.
The members are hoping they can make the eye-popping raises more palatable to the public by agreeing to a slew of ethics reforms, which they hope will convince good government groups to back their plan, the sources said.

They do not deserve a "massive pay raise" because their performance overall is less than poor. How dare they!
"A Tale of Two Cities"...
Chutzpah Tonedeaf Hubris Basically a big bribe to get desperately needed reforms for the people they feign to care about and the constituents that blindly support them. Despite being business as usual in politics and government, stunts like this is still shocking. This will have more of an impact on the rise of crime than any police slowdown, which would be justified in this case, for it will make people more cynical about government and give the dregs of society just more excuses to steal because the electeds do it. these people have no sense of decency.
I live in Bayside and other than posing for pictures, and making really stupid decisions, what exactly do council people do?
If, for some reason, it is allowed to go through, then let it take effect for future Council members; i.e., any sitting Council member would be prohibited from getting the raise that they themselves voted on.
As I understand it, as part of the legislation, they will DOUBLE the Community Board compensation...
$192,000 DOLLARS!
Yep, that is what these mostly useless and corrupt do nothing city council members want for their raise. Un-FUCKING-believable, considering that the majority of these asswipes do so very little when it comes to serving their communities and constituents. I mean do you really think that someone like Jamaica's Leroy Comrie, when he was council member, was worth this, hell he was not worth the salary he was making back then. Do you think that crooked Jamaica Ruben Wills is worth this, hell he is not even worth minimum wage.
Former House Member Anthony Weiner stated “We should pay Council Members more. BUT only under one condition: that they work for the people and they work full time for us. Not outside jobs.”
By that definition, NONE of these assholes should get this bloated raise, especially crooked stick up her fucking ass speaker Melissa Melissa Mark-Viverito.
FUCK THEM!
Hey, we can use the money from the congestion pricing to pay for our raise and at least the bicycle riders will vote for us
That's because nobody will be able to afford a car, and those who could moved away
Yeah...like Vallone doesn't make enough money lobbying for developers.
His poor city council salary might put him in the poor house.
LET OUR COUNCIL PROVE ITSELF FIRST. LET THE VOTERS DECIDE IF THEIR COUNCIL REPRESENTATIVE'S PERFORMANCE MERITS ANY KIND OF RAISE AT ALL. IT'S A PUBLIC SERVICE POSITION FOR CRYING OUT LOUD NOT CEO OF JP MORGAN!
LET THE VOTERS DECIDE. Better yet, disband the City Council. Think of how much money the city could save, i.e. salaries, staff, benefits, expenses. What do they do anyway? Years ago the city functioned just fine without one. Put it on the ballot and let the people decide if we need a City Council.
The Daily News article states: "The independent Quadrennial Commission, a three-member body that Mayor de Blasio convened in September, is mulling raises for all lawmakers. They are expected to make a recommendation by the end of the year."

Do we know who the Commission members are? can they be objective?
A more disgusting group of people (to include duhblazio and buddy Sharpton) does not exist.
Hey Melissa I here their hiring in Puerto Rico,
Money is no problem there.
A raise? For doing what? Fighting for the rights for illegals and old asians who want to loiter in mcdonalds? Get real! There are how many homeless living in nyc and how much is housing here compared to the average salary here?
They will pass it in secret, there will be a brief outrage in the media, and they will all be re-elected with their new raises. Sorry.
Marxists do not have ethics.
Where else could these clowns get a 6 figure job?
Isn't City Council a part time job? Isn't Paul Vallone still working as a lawyer?
Part time huh?
Where do we sign up?
The last joker changed the term limit law, came to office with 5 billion when he left estimates were around 23 billion.
Yeah yeah, the business was doing great. I know.
Hey folks just remember this is the City Council that just recently voted to honor Ethel Rosenberg. Yes, that Ethel that gave or sold our atomic weapons secrets to the communist Soviets back in the early 1950's. They actually thought that this was appropriate. Just keep voting liberal democrat sheeple.
They should get what the cops and every other city employee got.....10% for municipal employees and 11% for uniformed employees i think they should be in the middle, 10.5%. This paid over 7 years as it is for all other employees.
How about a referendum to abolish the council and bring back The Board of Estimte??
