Gov. Gavin Newsom and California lawmakers will get pay raises, but their long tenure as the highest-paid state officials in the country will end soon.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom, center, shakes hands with Assemblyman Phil Ting as he enters the Assembly chambers to deliver his State of the State address in February.
The pay hikes were approved by the state Citizens Compensation Commission, which is appointed by the governor and required to meet annually to set the pay of elected officials. During the recession of a decade ago, the panel cut salaries, but it has routinely granted raises in recent years. The California pay panel was provided a survey of salaries from last year that showed California state officials are often paid far less than elected officials and administrators in cities and counties.
“It’s a certain irony that people are termed out [in state government] and they go make some money on a board of supervisors or a city council,” Dalzell said. The surveys also showed that 45% of adults in May approved of the job being done by Newsom, up from 44% in January. The downsizing of the board occurred after a series of audits found widespread nepotism and improper interference with decisions to open field offices and transfer staffers, some of whom were assigned to duties that promoted the elected officials.“It’s actions like this that erode public confidence in everything we do up at the Capitol,” Nazarian said. “This commission is voting to increase the pay for agency officeholders that don’t have 90% of their previous workload.
