Mayor Gets Back To Workers With Deferred Salaries
posted (July 28, 2020)

In our last segment you saw the Mayor donate computer tablets to city schools, but that show of generosity is not at the expense of his employees. At the end of March, we reported that the salaries of City Council employees would be cut by 50% at the start of April. At the time Wagner claimed that the move had been forced by an extremely diminished revenue stream due to COVID-19. But, he said that the reduction would not be counted as a loss but would be deferred.

And in a release last week the Council announced that their employees had been refunded the first installment of their deferred salaries. We asked the Mayor about those payments earlier today.
