County weighs compromise on judges salary dispute
The Ector County Commissioners Court may rejoin a state program to raise county court-at-law judges salaries as part of a compromise with Judge Jim Bobo. The proposal could reduce local taxpayers costs even if salaries rise to 86 000 annually. Commissioners Crider and Todd oppose a deal, just after a state appeals court sided with the county in 1993 to restore cut salaries. Commissioner Patton proposed the compromise to end litigation costs already incurred by the county.
