An attempt to tie proposed pay raises for some Lafayette City and Parish Council staff to pay raises for some of Mayor-President Josh Guillory's top administrators failed Tuesday, our media partners at The Advocate report.
The councils voted unanimously several times in recent months to reject large pay raises, some exceeding $30,000 a year, for Guillory's directors and top administrators. Guillory had proposed the raises during the summer in his 2022-23 budget for the fiscal year that started Nov. 1, the newspaper reports.
It was a parish councilman, Josh Carlson, who tried to tie the council staff raises to administration raises.
