Chicago alderman raises: Six council members reject 5.5% pay increase, other 44 accept automatic hike – Chicago Tribune*

There’s no automatic pay adjustment for other city elected officials. Mayor Lori Lightfoot makes $216,210, a mayoral salary that hasn’t changed since 2006, after the council had passed a series of gradual raises in 2002 for themselves, Mayor Richard M. Daley, the city clerk and treasurer.

Reddit informs me the aldermen who turned down the raise are:

George Cardenas, 12th
Raymond Lopez, 15th
Silvana Tabares, 23rd
Felix Cardona, 31st
Gilbert Villegas, 36th
Matt Martin, 47th

Only two are members of the Progressive Caucus. The DSA’ers are all grabbing theirs.
