HomeMy WebLinkAbout93-092WHEREAS, Proposition 112 established the California Citizens Compensation
Commission, consisting of seven members appointed by the Governor, charged with establishing
the annual salary and medical, dental, insurance and other similar benefits of state officers; and,
WHEREAS, the Commission has reached a preliminary consensus which would increase
the legislature's annual salaries to $60,000-$65,040 an or about December, 1994.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED as follows:
1. That this Board urges the commission to rescind its recommendation to increase
the salaries of State Legislators from $52,500 to $50,000-$65,000. Any pay increases are
excessive, until such time as the fiscal condition of the State has improved.
2. In light of the State's current fiscal crisis, it is unthinkable that this Commission
could recommend imposing additional burdens on the State's General Fund. It is unlikely that
the State's f scal outlook will improve by December of 1994 when these pay increases will take
effect.
3. The Commission is charged with comparing the state legislature's salary with
other elected officials within the State. In that regard, members of the Butte County Board of
Supervisors receive an annual salary which is almost one quarter of that currrently recieved by
the Legislature, and yet are still required to perform duties comparable to those of the state
