Stow Voters Decide Mayor’s Pay Raise | Columbus News

Stow voters face a pivotal decision this fall: approve a ballot measure that could give the mayor and two top officials a major pay raise—24% for the mayor, 23% for the law and finance directors—with changes taking effect in 2028. These long-overdue increases aim to close the gap with neighboring towns, combat inflation, and boost competitiveness in attracting top talent—especially for critical roles like law director. But here’s the twist: the current mayor won’t be eligible to run again when the raises kick in, and the same goes for the other two positions. Ultimately, it’s up to the voters to decide whether fair pay and talent retention outweigh other priorities. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
