(The following is a transcription of the full broadcast story)

We reported Monday on a proposal in Hillsdale to give the City's elected officials ca. 700% raises.

The chair of the board that sets those salaries told us the idea was on hold.

But City officials are saying that because that board approved the proposal, it should continue on to City Council later this month.

The Council could decide to reject the raises.

Officer's Compensation Board Chair Russell Richardson responded in a statement, saying bylaws leave open the possibility of revising a decision before it's been sent to Council.
