Park Ridge may pay mayor $1
Park Ridge mayor and aldermen pay would drop to $1 a month under a plan tentatively approved by city officials.
The city would save $20,304 by reducing the salaries of the mayor and aldermen in Saturday's proposal.
Currently, aldermen are paid $100 monthly, while the mayor makes $1,000.
The council must approve changes to the city's municipal code that sets the salaries of elected officials. Not all agree with the plan. "I think it's wrong to ask us to do anymore than we are," said Jim Allegretti, council member.

I grew up in Park Ridge, the local government is not qualified to run a gas station. The Mayor and Council should pay us every month until we get our money back for their miscalculations or just resign.
