Milwaukee's mayor and common council members could get 8% raises when the next four-year term starts.
It's in a proposal the full council will discuss next week.
The plan would raise a council member's salary from about $84,200 to nearly $91,000.
The mayor's pay would rise from about $169,000 to nearly $183,000.
After that, the proposal calls for 2% raises each year of the term.
Supporters say the change would better match city employee raises, while opponents say voters might not support it in the current economy.

That includes a Rosetta Stone replica displayed since 1956.
The group wants the county to review records before any decisions become final.

Wisconsin Senator Tammy Baldwin praised the U.S.
Supreme Court for its decision to reject President Donald Trump's bid to restrict mail ballots this week.
Civic Media's James Kelly has the story.
In an interview on Wednesday, Senator Baldwin said the court was right to reject the Trump administration's unconstitutional attempt to change the rules and stop Americans from voting by mail.

I've had the opportunity over these past few weeks to
be traveling the state of Wisconsin.
And everywhere I went, I heard the same thing.
Families and shop owners and businesses concerned about the cost of health care and housing and groceries and fuel.
And instead of tackling these issues head on, Trump is trying to tip the scales in the midterm elections.
While the decision will protect current mail-in voting access, advocacy groups have also expressed concerns about potential voter intimidation efforts if federal agents are deployed to polling sites in
November.
abide by voter intimidation, by federal agents looking around for no reason at all.
Senator Baldwin noted that it is already illegal to send federal agents to election sites and that she's also been in contact with election officials and state attorneys general to protect against that potential voter intimidation.

CHS Incorporated says the facility on 300 acres of farmland will be capable of processing 80 million bushels of soybeans a year into livestock feed and oil for products like biodiesel.

The plant marks the most expensive single development project in Evansville's history and is expected to open in the fall of 2028.
Kenosha County District Attorney Xavier Solis is facing an uncertain future after his license to practice law was suspended.
