La Ronge mayor and council mull salary increase
Remuneration has been frozen since 2019 when previous Mayor Ron Woytowich halted yearly increases.
Prior to that, salaries went up annually based on the rate of inflation in Saskatchewan.
Ratushniak said he welcomes a salary review so that the town will be “on par” with other municipalities.
“I just want to be on par, for our counselors and for myself, to other municipalities and inflation. It’s always nice to be able to say that we’ll keep a freeze on certain things. But if we’re not at the same standards that everyone else is, then that’s when people start feeling undervalued and that’s just not fair and equitable,” Ratushniak said.
