You have to be kidding me! The Honolulu Salary Commission is wanting to raise the pay of our City Council members again, after a 64% salary increase last year.
Commissioner Rebecca Soon says “this action recognizes the need for investment in local government” and “paying living wages leads to a more diverse Council.” What nonsense!
How about we amend the City Charter and abolish the Salary Commission and let the people decide when and how much of a raise these guys deserve?
