Assemblymen Advise Pay Boosts for Judges With Escalator Provisions
An Assembly committee proposed major increases in California judicial pay, tying salaries to a cost of living index and reducing class levels. Superior Court judges in five large counties would have base plus living-cost adjusted pay, with smaller counties at lower bases. Supreme Court justices and appellate court justices would also see raised bases and small chief justice boosts. The plan shifts state county sharing of salaries and would raise overall state costs while cutting county expenditures.
