CCBOC denies $1,000 per month pay raise to superior court judges.

Judge Amanda Williams says she and fellow judges were "Shanghaied." http://www.jacksonville.com/tu-online/stories/020509/geo_384836080.shtml

How much per month are the taxpayers of Camden paying them now. What is their total salary from the state and the other counties?

The state has eliminated all funding for senior judges. Why would Camden pay Senior Judge Tuten anything when he is not holding any court?

Jay, try and get us a total figure.

I am always amazed that as hard as times are now, so many people out of work, the ones who make the most money are the ones who scream the loudest. I would say this is a good example of why so many people have given Judge Williams the nickname "Demanda Williams". The Judges were asking for $1,000. per month increase and the poor people working for the County were happy just to be getting any kind of raise for the first time in three years. They are the ones who really needed a break, and I'm sure they are unhappy for the loss but probably happy just to have a job. For the first time in many years I am proud of the CCBOC for standing their ground with the Judges.

That's very funny..."Demanda Williams" and very appropriate, I must say.

Just sit tight Anonymous, I hear copies of the entire county payroll for 2008 are floating around all over the place. Not only are some judges on it but also all staff from the top down to the bottom. It should not be long now before it gets published in the paper. I think many will be shocked to see what is going on!

Well I hope someone sends a copy to our new POSSIBLE County Commissioner, Editor-in-Chief Jay Moreno.
