In Baton Rouge on June 8 four bills providing salary increases cleared the house. They include raises from 2400 to 3000 dollars for marshals of Monroe and West Monroe city courts, with half funded by Ouachita Parish and the respective city. Other measures boost pay for an assistant district attorney in the Fourth Judicial District and for a Ward 1 Lincoln municipal court marshal, plus raise the 28th judicial district district attorney by 1800 dollars yearly with shared parish contributions. The DA would serve as legal adviser without extra pay and district court conviction fees would flow to parish treasurers.
