YOUNGSTOWN With support questionable among city council members for a pay raise for the law director, the mayor is requesting that increase be 3 percent significantly less than the 15 percent he initially proposed.
But Mayor Jamael Tito Brown is still recommending council, when it meets Wednesday, give a 15 percent raise to the finance director.
In a Jan. 11 Vindicator article, a majority of council members expressed support for the 15 percent pay raise for the finance director, but not for the law director.
Brown on Dec. 9 proposed 15 percent increases for the director jobs, which haven’t received pay raises in the past 13 years.
