Finkbeiner proposes reducing Toledo council to 8; Mayor offers to cut his own pay by 10%.
Byline: Tom Troy
Jul. 26--One day after Toledo City Council voted to clip his budget wings, Mayor Carty Finkbeiner proposed cutting the number of councilmen from 12 to 8.
The council reduction plan was part of a two-pronged proposal that Mr. Finkbeiner said was aimed at ending Toledo's budget crunch.
The city is facing a 2008 deficit of about $10 million.
The other prong involved his own paycheck: He recommended that the mayor's pay be reduced by 10 percent, from $136,700 to $123,030.
The mayor's proposals were made in a letter dated Monday, but were disclosed to the media yesterday, a day after council voted to put a proposed charter amendment on the Nov. 6 ballot requiring the mayor to submit a balanced budget proposal.
Spokesman Brian Schwartz said that if the mayor's salary can't be changed during his term, then Mr. Finkbeiner would simply donate the difference to the general operating fund.
