Lansing city council considers a pay increase this evening

Lansing city council members will consider a pay increase tonight for themselves. 

Lansing’s mayor and city clerk would also get a pay hike too.

Last week, an independent panel proposed the 20 percent pay hike. 

Unless the city council votes "no", the pay increase will take effect in July.

It would be the first pay increase for Lansing city officials in a dozen years.
