The Denver City Council is weighing a nearly half-million-dollar pay raise package for 12 top city officials appointed by Mayor Mike Johnston, with increases ranging from $6,800 to over $80,000 per year. The total increase, set to cost taxpayers $492,913, is intended to keep city leadership salaries competitive with other major U.S. cities.
Denver Mayor Mike Johnston recently faced intense questioning from Republican lawmakers during a U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform hearing concerning the city's sanctuary policies.
