Montgomery County boards cut justice pay to 2400 a year
In Hillsboro, the Montgomery County Board voted to pay justices of the peace a straight salary of 2400 a year with all fines going to the county, a change required by a new state law. One Litchfield justice had previously earned about 10000 annually from fines, while others in districts with less business would have received 2400. The Jackson County board in Murphysboro voted against 2400 a year, and earlier proposals set 1500 as the scale. Backers warn counties cannot keep justices at 1500.
