On the 11th, the Maebashi City Council on Special Position Remuneration met at Maebashi City Hall. The council deemed Mayor Ogawa Akira's proposal to reduce his salary by 50% "appropriate." However, the council commented that "it does not recommend whether he should continue serving as mayor." In response to this recommendation, Mayor Ogawa is expected to submit a salary reduction proposal at the December regular city council meeting, scheduled to open on the 27th. However, seven political parties, representing 32 members—more than 80% of the city council's total—have requested his resignation, making it unclear whether the proposal will pass.
