Tuesday's New York Law Journal reports that 2 members of the panel considering "Judicial Pay Raises" favor immediate and substantial pay raises for New York Supreme Court Justices. One panelist recommended a raise to $197,000, the second panelist recommended $220,000. Much better than $133,000. About time! The Justices have not had a pay raise since 1999. Would you have put up with that?
The final vote by the "Commission " is scheduled for August 26th, 2011. Barring something unforseen, the recommendations I believe will be rubberstamped . While Judges do take their fair share of criticism, the raise is fair, reasonable and a long-time coming.
Finally!
