LB608

Appropriate funds for a salary increase for county court employees

Description:

Provide an additional 2% increase in the salaries of the county court employees within the budget of the Nebraska Supreme Court.  It is further the intent to provide this 2% on top of the any increase which is part of the preliminary recommendation by the Appropriations Committee.  Based on the preliminary recommendations of the Committee, this would amount to a 4.5% increase in each year of the biennium.  This is an issue that discussions began on last year.  Because of low wages, many county court workers are eligible for and receive public assistance.  CARRYOVER TO 2010 LEGISLATIVE SESSION   Click here to see a Lincoln Journal Star story on the issue.
