City Council President Darrell Clarke Is Donating His Raise to the Obama Campaign

Mayor Michael Nutter and a number of city officials are set to receive automatic pay increases. Of the officials up for the pay bump, six are either rejecting it or donating it. City Council President Darrell Clarke is one of the officials donating his raise, though he’s not donating it to charity. Instead, Council President Clarke is donating his 2.8 percent salary increase to the campaign to re-elect President Barack Obama. [Newsworks]
