Kansas judges: pay gap vs neighbors prompts budget ask
Kansas Chief Justice Lawton Nuss and Shawnee County Judge Cheryl Rios urged the 2017 Legislature to add 20 million to the base judicial budget over two years to raise salaries toward Colorado, Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska and Oklahoma levels. They cited 2 percent COLA losses, 22 percent underpayment for magistrates, and 32 percent of nonjudge staff with part time roles, urging raises from 4.6 to 22.2 percent to address nationwide study gaps and applicant shortages.
