SAN FRANCISCO — A feisty Chief Justice Tani Cantil-Sakauye today defended recent pay raises for Administrative Office of the Courts workers while chiding early critics for “not giving me a chance.”
Just one month into her tenure as head of California’s judicial branch, Cantil-Sakauye held her first sit-down interview with reporters at the Supreme Court building in San Francisco. In a wide-ranging discussion, the new chief defended the 3.5 percent step increases awarded to most AOC employees, a pay bump she endorsed last year as chair of a Judicial Council oversight committee. Cantil-Sakauye’s predecessor, Chief Justice Ronald George, ultimately approved the salary increases, which are expected to cost $1.1 million this year.
