Pay yourself first — over and over again! Shameless city lawmakers are pushing to give themselves eye-watering 18. 2% raises — in a scheme that will also give them automatic pay hikes of at least 2% every year in the future. City Council Member Nantasha Williams (D-27) introduced a bill that would inflate her and her colleagues’ salaries from $148,500 to $175,500 backdated to January, while also ballooning pay for the mayor, the City Council speaker and other elected positions.
