New York City elected officials could be in line for a whopping 18.2% pay raises this summer after an independent commission quietly recommended salary increases for the mayor, City Council and other top city officials in a report published on election day.
The Quadrennial Advisory Commission, appointed by Mayor Zohran Mamdani in March, recommended raising pay for the mayor, City Council members, borough presidents, the comptroller, public advocate, Council speaker, and district attorneys from their 2016 salary levels, according to a report dated June 23. City & State first reported the recommendations on Monday.
