A state commission voted 4-3 on Monday to put New York State Supreme Court justice salaries on par with those of federal district court judges by 2018.
The majority embraced a proposal that would have justices making 95 percent of the salary of their federal counterparts in the upcoming fiscal year, which begins April 1, 2016.
Federal district judges are due to make $203,100 and 95 percent of that sum is $192,945. By statute, the salary is rounded up, meaning the Supreme Court 2016 salary could become $193,000.
