Mayor: Dohoney's Worth The Money

Mayor Mark Mallory this morning defended his proposal to give City Manager Milton Dohoney a 7% raise.

During Mallory's press conference about his budget recommendations, Channel 9 reporter Jenell Walton asked the mayor several times about the raise, which would mean $12,950 more onto Dohoney's current $185,000 paycheck. She said people might have questions about the raise, given that the city is talking about needing to cut its budget.

"I feel very strongly in paying people what they're worth," Mallory said.
