Tory's budget plan calls for councillor raises, office spending increases
As Torontonians are asked to stomach a 2.25% tax increase, Mayor John Tory plans to increase his office budget by $316,000.
And city councillors will receive a pay hike and an increase to their office spending as outlined in proposed in the 2015 documents released earlier this week at City Hall.
If approved by city council in March, it will see Tory’s office budget move to nearly $2.2 million, up nearly 17% from $1.88 million in 2014 when that amount was split between then Mayor Rob Ford and Deputy Mayor Norm Kelly, who had Ford’s statutory powers and most of his staff in the wake the crack cocaine scandal in 2013.
The proposed increase in Tory’s budget is $800,000 more than the $1.55 million budgeted to the mayor’s office in 2012, the last full year Rob Ford had all of his powers and a complete staff.:frusty:
