COMMENTARY: Numbers don’t add up for Delaware Compensation Commission

Bill Bowden
The Legislature has made the right call by rejecting the Delaware Compensation Commission recommendations.

Given the current budget crisis in Delaware, the possibility of a $20,000-a-year raise for Delaware’s Supreme Court justices, plus significant raises for many other leaders, rightfully caused concern.

According to the National Center For State Courts, over the last eight years, Delaware’s justices have fallen from being the fourth-highest-paid out of all the states, to the ninth-highest, placing them higher than 42 other states. This fall in ranking was, in part, caused by the lack of substantial pay raises over this period of time. To be fair, this was the same for all state employees.

  1. How about pay raises for DE employees besides teachers, legislators, state police and justices?!
    Pay raises for others over the last 10+ years have either been non-existent or not even close to the cost-of-living increase!

  2. Don't you just love it when one bureaucrat scratches the back of another. It's so easy to spend money when it's not yours.

    CUT their pay.
    Again, I'll ask --- who are your representatives REALLY representing?

    Hint --- it ain't YOU.
