BOSTON — Boston's city councilors voted to give themselves a $12,000 pay raise just days before they face voters for re-election — though most are running unopposed.
The salary measure, which passed 9-4 on Wednesday, will boost the annual pay for a councilor by 14 percent to $99,500 from $87,500 currently. Councilors Ayanna Pressley, Michelle Wu, Charles Yancey and Josh Zakim voted against the raise, according to WBUR radio's website.
