MEDFORD MUST LOOK AT CITY COUNCILOR PAY INSTEAD OF FEEDING THE FAT FACES OF ZAC AND SCARPELLI
QUINCY ‒ A hostile crowd repeatedly jeered and
heckled the Quincy City Council on Monday night, disrupting the body's
first meeting after summer recess. Most demonstrators came to oppose the pair of pay raises councilors approved last June, despite the item not being on the agenda.
The raises increased Mayor Thomas Koch's salary from about $150,000 to $285,000 and city councilors' salaries from about $30,000 to $43,500.

Large, self-approved raises for Quincy mayor, city councilors have residents upset |
|
A cadre of residents, incensed by recently approved salary increases of 79 percent for Mayor Thomas Koch and 50 percent for city councilors, rallied at City Hall Plaza Monday evening waving signs that said, “Stop the CA$H grab,” calling for a repeal of the raises.
Koch’s raise of more than $100,000, slated to go into effect in January, would make him one of the highest paid mayors in the country. https://www.bostonglobe.com/2024/09/10/metro/quincy-protesters-demand-clawback-raise-mayor/?s_campaign=breakingnews:newsletter | | |
