What Happened in Quincy Is Coming to a City Near You

From the Quincy Sun, Print Edition Only, Thursday, Jul 11, 2024, in an article titled “Residents Seek to Repeal Mayor, Council Raises” Mayor Koch predicted that other Mayors will follow suit pushing for large raises saying “My guess is based on what we did, now a number of cities are going to look at it and probably make some adjustments because all the mayors are in the same boat. They have to bring it in, it’s awkward, it’s difficult, it’s never the right time to do it. So, my guess is you’ll see numbers that will increase.”

This will become a state wide issue and effect other cities too.
