Lexington’s City Council appears ready to approve another pay increase for its police officers. The first reading of the salary hike is on the Council’s docket Thursday. It got preliminary approval during Tuesday’s work session. Council Member David Kloiber cast the lone no vote.
“We saw the last time that we raised our salaries that the surrounding counties, other municipalities, they raised theirs. So, we didn’t actually see a net increase in that retention. What is different about this because it seems to be doing the same thing we did last time and expecting a different result,” said Kloiber.
