BELLEVILLE, Ill. — Several Belleville aldermen have donated their pay raises back to the city police and fire departments. They say it’s the right thing to do in tough times.
Their opponents smell a political stunt.
Aldermen got the raises five years ago. This new crop, elected last year, returned the money Tuesday. But is it principle or just in-fighting between them and the mayor?
