Denver City Council member and candidate for mayor Carol Boigon has launched a petition drive, calling on other candidates and officials to refuse the pay raises recently approved by the Denver City Council.
Carol Boigon voted against the raise. (Kersgaard)She will be joined at a press conference this morning by City Auditor Dennis Gallagher, who is also seeking re-election.
“When Denver families are sacrificing, so must our elected officials, said Boigon in a prepared statement.
Added Gallagher, “As your city auditor, I understand firsthand how the economic crisis has impacted our city. I returned my last pay raise to the city and if I’m re-elected, I will continue to stand in solidarity with Denver families and will return the pay raise passed by City Council.”
