Toronto city council will consider a report this week that suggests hiking councillors’ salaries by roughly 24% , to more than $170,500 .

Etobicoke Centre Councillor Stephen Holyday says he’ll vote against it.

Holyday : The optics are awful, “following two years of large tax increases” for Toronto ’s citizens.

The 24% hike for councillors works out to about $33,000 — “more than what some council staff make in an entire year ,” AMAPCEO president Dave Bulmer says.
