Oregon commission plan would reshape district courts and salaries
The proposal envisions a state commission appointing deputies in counties, with deputies answering to the district attorney and not local interests. Salaries would hinge on population and workload, yet save at least 206000 statewide. Judges would be elected free of partisan ties, mirroring merit based appointment concepts while avoiding political symbolism. Proponents call it a popular reform likely to build broad support for initiative changes.
