Hill Says No To Councillor Salary Boost

Some Ottawa City Council colleagues are considering a motion to increase councillors’ wages for the remainder of the term.

I haven’t seen this motion, and this is not a priority to me. Council received a report from an independent third party several months ago that said our salaries were within a reasonable bracket.

It also isn’t lost on me how tariffs and federal government downsizing are affecting the community – everyone has tightened their belt these days and it is only right that mine is tight as well.

If this motion comes to council, I will vote no.

    It’s great that Barrhaven West has a councillor with ethics, energy and brains.

  2. Ron Benn says:

    David, I agree with your assessment of David Hill. The two councillors for Barrhaven (David Hill and Wilson Lo) are head and shoulders above most of the others who populate the council chambers.
