1400 Atlanta workers might get raises

About 7,500 people work for the city of Atlanta. More than 1,000 of them could see a pay raise under a plan City Council is considering.

Last year, Mayor Kasim Reed led an effort to reform the city’s pension system. The reforms saved an estimated $25 million this year.

“That allowed us to have a little bit of flexibility this year,” said City Council Finance Committee member Aaron Watson.
