San Antonio council members divided over recommended pay increase

San Antonio City Council members have so far shared widely divergent views of a recent analysis that recommended sending their salaries into the six-figure range. Several said the raise shouldn't be that high while at least one said the pay could go higher and another said such a hefty salary would be "insensitive" to low-income constituents. On Monday, the city's Charter Review Commission subcommittee on council pay and compensation presented a proposal to increase council members' pay to an annual package between $75,00 and $125,0000.
