Quincy City Councilors accept pay raises they vowed to repeal

Quincy City Councilors are accepting pay raises they promised to repeal due to state laws and the city charter. New councilors campaigned against the 50 percent raise, approved by the previous council without public hearings. Many plan to donate their increased salaries to charity. The raise took effect this year, and efforts to repeal it are being sent to the Ordinance Committee for discussion.
