Cypress council votes in favour of pay increase
DUNMORE, AB – Pocketbooks of Cypress County councillors grew on Tuesday, with council voting 6-3 in favour of an pay hike for the next council term.
Rates for councillors will grow from $600 to $1,000 per month, while Reeve Darcy Geigle’s salary will go from $775 per month to $1,400 per month.
Councillor Dustin Vossler said the previous wage was so low, some days it was hard to stop the combines and drive to Dunmore.
