Members of a judicial pay commission agreed Monday that judges are due for a raise. Yet they differed on how much judges would receive and how fast they would get it.
In the New York State Commission on Legislative, Judicial and Executive Compensation's first meeting since court administrators urged immediate pay parity between state Supreme Court justices and federal district court judges, some commission members appeared to latch onto the court proposal. Other members, especially those selected by Gov. Andrew Cuomo, raised concerns.
During a Nov. 30 public hearing, Chief Administrative Judge Lawrence Marks detailed the Office of Court Administration's proposal to bring state justices' salaries, now $174,000, in line with federal judges' salaries, which are due to rise to $203,100 in January.
