Reply to comment by MapleChimes in Critics say NJ mayor wants 647% pay raise to pad his pension for life by MapleChimes

is there a term limit in wayne? is this his last term? or are people just speculating that he will retire at the end of the term if this is passed?

im just confused on what retirement from his private sector job has to do with his public sector service.

also comparing salaries to other cities is kinda dumb. town pay what they can afford. look at the average salary of a wayne police officer vs a paterson police officer. wayne pays more significantly more for a far less dangerous job.

The timing, lack of transparency, and hastiness at which it's being done is what makes it suspicious. I don't think it's dumb to compare the salaries of mayors in other towns. This definitely puts him at the high end. Given that the 2 people who run the daily administrative work of the town are keeping their jobs, I don't see how this changes what he currently does part-time. Therefore, I see no justification for this sudden change. I think voters should get a say.

He is trying to offset his loses. The mayor of Wayne is only a part time job as the administrator of town does 90% of the work.
