Senior staff in the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department, district attorney’s office and other departments will get raises to prevent them from earning less than the people they supervise.
The Board of Supervisors on Tuesday, July 31, voted unanimously to approve the raises, which will cost about $1.6 million this fiscal year. The raises will be absorbed in the current budget and won’t require additional spending.
Sheriff Stan Sniff and District Attorney Paul Zellerbach appeared before the board to lobby for the raises, which don’t apply to them.
The pay hikes, they said, were needed after newly signed union deals created pay bumps that greatly closed or even eliminated the gap between top managers and their unionized subordinates.

How interesting, Someone got a picture of Burum handing Erwin his share of the colonies gift proceeds.
Raises! No one is going to quit their job in ths economy. The answer is to lower the union salaries. Oh, can’t do that and get the union money and endorsement. Don’t worry Riverside, chapter 9, will fix your problems. Just blame it on the economy!
Shame on those who pushed this during these difficult times!
I agree. Shame on those who pushed this. More and more money for the $17 Amtrak cheeseburgers.
