PHILADELPHIA — Mayor John F. Street is getting more than $111,000 as he leaves office, money a city official said comes from pay raises he was entitled to take but did not.
Street had vetoed a pay-raise bill in the midst of an election in 2003, and the City Council overrode it. The mayor, however, chose not to take an increase, which at the time would have raised his salary from $146,000 to $165,000.
Now he has decided to collect it retroactively.
