I fully support the proposal.
And I respectfully disagree with this statement:
The previous council members willingly stepped up and accepted their roles based on the terms at the time. That was their choice, and I don’t see it as unfair. For example, if someone takes a job at a certain salary and later the company raises pay for new hires, it doesn’t mean the earlier employee is being treated unfairly - they agreed to the deal they got.
I’m not opposed to the idea of showing gratitude to our past council members, but I think it is unfair to call the proposal unfair.
