Senate favors judicial pay hike in Maryland
The Maryland Senate backed a proposed 11,175 pay raise for judges, rejecting two attempts by Sen. Michael Collins to scale it back. The plan would lift the chief judge of the Court of Appeals to 133,500 annually, following a judicial salary commission recommendation amid broader state raises. Collins argued the rise was too generous while most state workers gain only 1,175.

Maryland judges seek $11 175 pay raise to match neighbors
Sen Barbara Hoffman notes the Budget and Taxation Committee backs the salary commission plan to raise Maryland judges to or above neighboring states. Critics warn the $11 175 increase is too high, while supporters say higher pay helps attract top private lawyers and counter judicial recruitment issues. The proposal takes effect unless both houses veto.
