The Vincennes City Council approved salary ordinances on a 5 to 2 vote Monday night.  Council members Tim Salters and Ashley Morris were opposed.

Mayor Joe Yochum says he believes the vote was split because some are concerned the elected officials would get a raise and city employees would not.  He said that’s what appeared to have happened last year…

 

 

Yochum says the wording in the ordinance will be checked to see if it’s proper.   Yochum says he doesn’t want any raises to go into affect until the budgets come back approved by the State Department of Local Government and Finance which he expects will be around February next year.
