Remarkable: worthy of remark.

I'm not a Charles McNeely fan; one reason is reading about his raises and bonuses every year. That's why I was surprised—shocked—to read this morning that he has "volunteered to forego a merit raise this year due to declining revenue and will receive only the same 3.5 percent cost-of-living raise as other city employees."

The article confirms he usually gets a merit raise and bonus and says that last year he got a 12 percent raise and a $12,000 bonus. The cost-of-living raise will bring his annual salary to $255,088 this year. He should be able to get by  on that.
