On November 15, the City Council passed legislation increasing the salaries
of all city elected officials. The increases were the first in seven years, and
were recommended by a Mayoral Commission appointed earlier this year after
Mayor Bloomberg did not convene one in 2003 as required by the City Charter
because of the city's then fiscal crisis.
The old and new salaries are as follows:
