Wayne County sets judge and solicitor pay

The law sets annual salaries for Wayne County’s State Court judge and solicitor at $135,711.27 each. Both salaries receive annual cost-of-living adjustments only when the county board approves an adjustment for general county employees. The same percentage applies to both court officers. Wayne County pays these salaries monthly from county funds, as directed by the Wayne County Board of Commissioners. The law also repeals conflicting laws.
