UPDATE: Newton TAB gives the story front page treatment!  Story here.

Several major news outlets including WBZ-TV and the Boston Globe are highlighting Ken Parker's opposition to Mayor David Cohen's proposed pay raises for top city staff during at a time when most employees have been asked to take a pay freeze.

It sends the wrong message to the people of Newton and to our employees to be handing out pay raises to people making six figures while we are asking for pay freezes.

We have the ability to roll back the pay raises for his [Mayor Cohen's] top lieutenants, and I will pursue that.
