Raises have been approved unanimously by the current Council based on the recommendations from an independent consultant.
The new Mayor will be paid over 31 thousand dollars a year with 13 thousand dollars in expenses. Quispamsis Mayor Murray Driscoll calls that reasonable because it has turned into a fulltime job.
The next Deputy Mayor will be paid more than 16 thousand 500 dollars plus 74 hundred dollars in expenses.
Individual town councillors will get over 14 thousand dollars annually plus 69 hundred dollars in expenses.
