NEWBURGH – City council members in Newburgh work far more than the part-time job requires and as a result, one councilwoman believes those elected positions should be made full-time.
Tamika Stewart members don’t just attend council members, but that network with residents of the city on a regular basis.
“I think that people are looking for more from their elected officials. In order to get more from them, it should be a full-time job, and they should be held responsible for doing a full-time job and giving the people what they need on a full-time basis,” she said.
Right now, council members are looking to give themselves a pay hike for their part-time positions.
