The Salisbury City Council has overridden Mayor Jake Day’s vote of a measure that hikes the salaries of city elected officials in 2019.
The vote was unanimous.
The vote means that the pay for Mayor will double from $25-thousand to $50-thousand while the pay for city council members inches up by a few thousand dollars with the council president reaching $15-thousand.
Day said he did not feel comfortable approving a raise for the Mayor’s job when he expected to run for re-election next year.
