The Lansing City Council said a big “No” last night to a chance to get their pay lowered by the same percentage they are asking from city employees.
Check out this Lansing State Journal story about how the city council deadlocked at 4-4 on a resolution by Council-member Brian Jeffries for the council to lead by example and take a pay reduction just like the people who work for them.
The excuse given by Council President A’Lynne Robinson for opposing Jeffries was that the council hadn’t had enough time to study his proposal.
Any comments? How important is it that the council take the same pay reduction given to employees required to take furlough days?
