Take a lesson from your peers, Fort Wayne politicians:
The Columbia City Common Council unanimously turned down a raise for itself Tuesday night but granted a 3 percent raise to other elected officials.
It marked the second straight year the council declined to vote itself a raise.
“I don't think the council should take a raise,” councilman Doug Fahl said in making the motion. “It's not a large amount of money, but it's a gesture to people.”
