Grafton, Illinois city officials forfeit salaries to give cops raises
Fox News
Grafton Mayor Michael Morrow, city attorney Will Miller and other officials have come together to support local law enforcement and meet the budget in order to give officers raises.
Before being elected in May, Morrow ran on the campaign promise to forfeit his salary to the police department. In a recent budget meeting, the city came up about $60,000 short on affording raises, so Grafton attorney Will Miller spoke up to donate his salary too. "Our police chief said he would forgo his pay raise and also my city manager and our city maintenance officer manager donated their… pay raises also," Morrow said. "It was unanimously passed, the budget, and we’re very happy to say that our police officers will be getting their raises."
