The nine members of the Honolulu City Council’s Legislative Matters Committee have just voted unanimously to reject a 3 percent raise for themselves and Prosecuting Attorney Keith Kaneshiro that would take effect July 1.

Chair Ernie Martin introduced the resolution last week. He said he talked to Kaneshiro and the two agreed that it would be inappropriate for them to take more money while other city workers and Oahu constituents make do with less.

Nobody testified, nobody objected, and nobody raised reservations. The raises had been recommended by the Salary Commission.

The resolution does not apply to the Carlisle administration.
