Mayor Miller keeping mum on 25% pay raise for MPPs TheStar.com - Unassigned - Mayor Miller keeping mum on 25% pay raise for MPPs
Toronto Star
The mayor isn't about to get into the debate about the 25-per-cent pay hike for members of the provincial parliament.
He has been asked several times about the issue, especially since city councillors caught a lot of flak for giving themselves a relatively modest 9-per-cent pay increase earlier this year.
"I thought what we did was appropriate," Miller said.
"We hired an independent body and they advised us. We set the level of salary for councillors and the mayor at a little bit higher than the average for the Greater Toronto Area. Not the highest; councillors and the mayor in Mississauga, for example, and Ottawa make more than councillors in Toronto, but it's a fair wage. It was an election issue. The people of Toronto returned me and I think the way we did it was appropriate. I'm not going to comment on Queen's Park."
The pay hike took a councillor's salary from $87,214 to $95,000 and the mayor's salary from $147,856 to $160,000.

You Can't Kiss Butt & Speak Out At The Same Time
So it is not surprising No Plan B Miller has nothing to say about MPP pay increase plus Moscoe and he maybe started a trend......
