The Mendocino County Board of Supervisors this past Tuesday voted to increase their salaries, with only one dissenting vote. MendoFever reports the new pay scale will raise salaries from $95,302 to $110,715, bringing their total compensation package to $160,715 by 2026. Compensation for supervisors is $105,284 in Lake County, $134,976 in Humboldt County, and $232,727 in Sonoma County. The move to increase salaries is not without controversy, with the president of SEIU Local 1021 criticizing the raise, saying it was calculated differently than other county employees. Residents complained, stating the county is in a financial crisis and that the board is out of touch with reality.
