If the town council votes yes on this on the 18th then yes. I have no problem with the town needing a full-time mayor but this isn't the way to go about it. The voters should vote for who should be a full time mayor in the next election. I think it's obvious he's looking for a big pension and health benefits (at tax payer's expense) for his retirement for only doing a part-time job.

And no matter who is mayor next, I think a salary of 140k is too much in comparison to what mayors in some of NJ's largest towns make. Wayne mayor doesn't need to make more money than the mayor of Paterson which has 3 times more people. There are also 2 people working full-time doing the daily administrative work already so there doesn't seem to be any justification for this last minute change other than money.
