Chair Brewer Introduces Elected Official Compensation Bill
Chair Gale Brewer welcomes attendees and introduces the preconsidered bill to increase compensation for the mayor, public advocate, city council members, borough presidents, comptroller, and district attorneys.
Thank you very much.
So I am Gail Brewer, Chair of the Committee on Government Operations, State and Federal Legislation.
Thank you everyone for joining, particularly interns and children.
Those are the best.
I would like to welcome elected officials, members of the public, and any city council colleagues who have joined us today, particularly Council Members Wang and Council Member Wilson.
We will be hearing Deputy Speaker Williams'bill, which we are hearing as a pre-considered introduction.
It would increase the compensation of the mayor, public advocate, members of the city council, board presidents, controller, and district attorneys, although the DAs have a different system.
