TennesseeGleason sets mayor and alderman pay for the 2028 term if approved
If two-thirds of Gleason’s legislative body approves, the law sets monthly pay at $400 for the mayor and $200 for each alderman starting with the term beginning December 2028.
What it does
If two-thirds of Gleason’s legislative body approves, the mayor’s monthly pay will be $400 and each alderman’s will be $200 for the term beginning December 2028.
Argument forThe higher monthly pay could help Gleason attract or keep people willing to serve as mayor or aldermen, if the city approves the rates.
