Judges Pay Raise Gains Momentum in General Assembly
After a Senate passage, House committees backed the proposed judges pay raise and pension plan. The judiciary panel endorsed the pay increase 11 to 2, and the pensions measure 9 to 1, while an amendment to equalize circuits and Cook County pay was defeated. The new schedule would raise Supreme Court and appellate judges salaries and set a pension at 85 percent of final salary.
