The Atlantic City Council is set to vote Wednesday on an ordinance that would give Mayor Lorenzo Langford a more than $15,000 raise.
The measure would set the mayor's salary at 1 percent more than the highest paid civilian employee. Municipal Judge Bruce Ward earns $117,697 so the mayor's salary would get a 15 percent boost to $118,874 in January.
The Press of Atlantic City reports Republicans are trying to put the policy up for a citywide vote.
