But they gave themselves a big raise anyway.
Forty speakers, including FWC Director Dave Lyons, gave testimony to the Board of Supervisors on March 21st, expressing concern about the proposed 35-47% raise for the elected Board members. In the end, despite vocal opposition, the Board gave itself a slightly smaller raise. Instead of the proposed Supervisor salaries of $130,000 per member and $145,000 for the Chairman, the Board changed those to $123,283 and $138,283, respectively.
