Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot proposes city ordinance giving herself a raise
Mayor Lightfoot's raise would adjust her salary for inflation and be capped at 5%
By Anders Hagstrom | Fox News

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot proposed an ordinance giving the office of the mayor an annual inflation raise capped at 5% on Wednesday.

Lightfoot currently takes in an annual salary of $209,915, a sum that would rise to $216,210 as of May 22, 2023, according to the ordinance. The proposal would allow the mayor's salary to rise up to 5% each year, with a stipulation that the mayor could opt out of the raise.

The proposed raise comes as Lightfoot has faced a stream of heated criticism for her handling of violent crime in her city, which has increased 37% compared to 2021.

The number of motor vehicle thefts so far in 2022 is up 74% compared to the same period in 2021.

But no "stipulation" about a pay CUT for being an incompetent buffoon...

An incompetent buffoon, yes, but such a magnificent dancer.

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot has been slammed for cheerfully dancing in the streets during a Lunar New Year parade, as violent crime surges and major retailers abandon the Windy City’s main drag.

Lightfoot, who is seeking re-election next month, was captured on video busting moves while surrounded by a drumline at Sunday’s parade.

Her carefree dancing prompted one Chicago news outlet to blast her as “detached from reality.”

“Since @chicagosmayor’s term began, Chicago has suffered 2,278 homicides and over 9,000 shot. Since January 1, the city has endured 41 homicides and 194 shot,” the Chicago Contrarian outlet said in a tweet. ...
