<p style="font-weight: 400;">Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot, who during her tenure has had Chicago cops <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/chicago-cops-turn-backs-on-mayor-after-female-cop-killed/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">turn their backs</a> on her, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/lori-lightfoots-private-text-during-george-floyd-riots-the-city-is-up-for-grabs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">texted</a> “this city is up for grabs” when riots broke out after the death of George Floyd, and <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/i-have-the-biggest-d-in-chicago-chicago-mayor-lightfoot-accused-of-raging-against-officials-who-wanted-to-display-columbus-statue-report/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">boasted</a>, “I have the biggest d*** in Chicago” when she attacked a former Chicago Park District official who made a deal with an Italian American group to allow a Christopher Columbus statue to be used in a parade, has now decided she is worthy of a 5% raise in salary.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Lightfoot said on Wednesday she endorsed a plan that would tie her salary, as well as those of  the mayor, city clerk and treasurer, to inflation. The pay raise would be capped at 5% and could take effect in 2024.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“To be clear, the ordinance that was introduced today would put the mayor, the city treasurer and the clerk in line with (aldermen) regarding a cost-of-living increase,” Lightfoot <a href="https://www.chicagotribune.com/politics/ct-chicago-mayor-pay-city-salary-20221026-qb2nm4jh2jhczmx46b5viq47fi-story.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stated</a>. “It’s not a salary increase.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The mayor&#8217;s salary has been the same since 2006.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">In September, Lightfoot protested that she had not “raised that issue” of her salary, insisting, “I think there’s conversation around … some of the other citywide elected officials.&#8221;</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;You’re aware that the mayor’s compensation hasn’t been changed in, I think, almost 20 years. But that’s not really what I’m focused on. I’m focused on making sure that we do the work of the people of the city every single day.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11360051/Chicago-Mayor-Lori-Lightfoot-proposes-pay-rise-despite-criticism-spiraling-crime-rate.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Violent crime</a> is up in Chicago 37% this year; over 2,300 shooting incidents have been reported.</p>
