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.

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. ...
