Hastings县规定了新的议员薪酬 并资助了当地儿童保育 Hastings County sets new councillor pay and funds local childcare.

黑斯廷斯州议会已核准自2025年起为其议员制定新的补偿模式,规定基薪为12 145美元,每日津贴为486.94美元,生活费调整率为3%。 Hastings County council has approved a new compensation model for its councillors, effective 2025, setting a base salary of $12,145 and a per diem rate of $486.94 with a 3% cost-of-living adjustment. 混合薪资结构取代了先前的单日津贴制度,目的是确保在与其他市议会一样担心薪酬公平的情况下,得到更公平、更可预测的补偿。 The hybrid pay structure replaces a previous per diem-only system, aiming to ensure fairer, more predictable compensation amid concerns about pay equity with other municipal councils. 该修改未经辩论获得通过。 The change was approved without debate. 此外,县还为支助地方儿童保育方案拨出了130万美元的省级资金,包括给家庭空间Quinte、北黑斯廷斯儿童服务处、特伦顿家庭军事资源中心和土著主导的倡议的赠款。 Separately, the county allocated $1.3 million in provincial funding to support local childcare programs, including grants to Family Space Quinte, North Hastings Children’s Services, the Trenton Family Military Resource Centre, and Indigenous-led initiatives.
