Judges lose perks
Likely handing Los Angeles County judges a $46,436 pay cut, the California Supreme Court on Tuesday declined to hear the county's appeal to continue paying judges extra cash benefits.Troy Anderson in the Daily News.
In October, an appellate court in San Diego found the county's practice of making extra payments on top of judges' state salaries of $178,789 was unconstitutional because only the Legislature can fund court operations.
The suit to block the payments was filed by Judicial Watch, a conservative watchdog group in Washington, D.C.
