By a vote of 4-1 Monday night, Norcross city leaders voted themselves a 50 percent pay raise, the first such move in 18 years.
City resident Greg McFarland addressed the governing body, saying that he doesn’t agree with the move.
“In this dreary economy, who came up with this idea, and who’s promoted it?” McFarland asked council members. “So much in Norcross is outsourced. … Most people have become so cynical against government. People are so upset with our leaders. Why do we have the highest millage rate in the county?”
Resident Faye McFarland said that, with what is essentially a part-time job in which the mayor and council members can show up or not as they please, she believes a pay raise would send the wrong message to full-time city workers who have not had pay increases in quite some time.
