Should Boston City Councilors Receive a Raise?

A proposal to raise the pay of Boston City Councilors by roughly $25,000 was halted recently after it was determined that doing so would violate state ethics laws, NECN reported Monday.

At a recent city hall meeting, Boston’s Assistant Corporation Counsel Henry Luthin said the law prohibits government officials from “voting on matters in which they or their families have a financial interest,” NECN reported, adding that the last time councilors received a raise was in 2006.
