From the Daily Southtown:
Elected officials in Harvey learned Thursday they would not be getting paid this pay cycle due to the city's "financial constraints," according to an email obtained by the Daily Southtown.Yes, I've done some urban exploration in Harvey, which is the Chicago area's answer to Detroit.
City comptroller Louis B. Williams notified officials early Thursday afternoon that the city could not pay them this pay period, but hoped to process payments as early as within a week.
"Due to the financial constraints the City is experiencing, we are unable to pay elected officials for this current pay period 01/05/18," reads the email, which Williams sent the mayor, aldermen, treasurer, clerk, deputy clerk and a mayoral aide. "Regarding your paychecks, we will keep you all updated, as we are hoping to process them sometime next week if funding is available. Thank you for your patience and understanding at this time."
The brief communication prompted email responses from multiple aldermen, who claimed they had been left in the dark about the city's financial state and requested that a meeting be called to discuss the matter, emails provided by one of the aldermen show.
