I don’t follow politics in the City of Wenatchee but I couldn’t help but notice the story in the Wenatchee World today about pay raises for the Mayor and the City Council just a week before Election Day.
One of the councilmembers thought the timing was off: “(Frank) Kuntz said he’s not opposed to the amount of the increases but thinks a hike should have come earlier in the year, a move he says could have attracted more candidates for the council.”
I think he’s implying that once these councilmembers knew they were being re-elected, they decided to give themselves a pay raise.
