KENAI, Alaska (AP) - Kenai Peninsula Borough Mayor Dave Carey has cut the salaries of his two top appointees following public criticism he heard when their pay hikes were made public.
Carey's chief of staff, Hugh Chumley, now earns $91,000 a year. That's down from his salary last week of $96,997.
Chumley's predecessor made just under $77,000.
The mayor's special assistant, Susan Wilcox, was dropped from $92,820 to $87,081. Her predecessor made $72,223.
Carey says he increased the responsibilities of the jobs.
