California elected officials get a pay raise

Statewide elected officials and lawmakers in California will be getting a 3 percent raise at the end of the year.

The California Citizens Compensation Commission approved the salary increases Tuesday, continuing a pattern of steady increases over the last seven years that adjust for inflation.

Chairman Tom Dalzell said the pay raise represented an “incremental, modest, symbolic increase.”

The new bump will raise the governor’s salary from $195,806 to $201,680 a year. Lawmakers’ pay will jump from $107,242 to $111,059.

Here are the other increases approved Tuesday. All go into effect on Dec. 3.
