HUNTINGTON, W.Va.—A West Virginia city council has pared a planned pay raise for its mayor, but the mayor still says no.

The Huntington council first discussed increasing Mayor David Felinton’s pay from about $62,000 a year to $90,000. On Monday, the council dropped it to $80,000 and is expected to vote in two weeks.

But Felinton still says he’ll veto any raise because the city has other priorities.
