COMMISSIONERS PUSH FOR PROPER STATE PAY FOR DISTRICT ATTORNEYS
Three Clatsop County commissioners are cultivating statewide support for increased state compensation for Oregon district attorneys, including a promise from state Sen. Betsy Johnson to introduce a bill at the Legislature’s next session in February.
Commissioners Richard Lee, Ann Samuelson and Patricia Roberts introduced a resolution at the Association of Oregon Counties annual conference Nov. 12-15 in Portland calling on the governor and Legislature to compensate district attorneys at a level commensurate with the scope and responsibilities of their office.
The commissioners first won unanimous support at from the District 7 Committee, made up of commissioners from Lincoln, Tillamook, Columbia and Clatsop counties, which forward it to the AOC steering committees on public safety and governance for consideration. The commissioners hand-carried the resolution to those two committees, which gave their approval and support. The AOC Legislative Committee, which sets the organization’s legislative agenda, will consider the resolution at its meeting in December.
Meanwhile, Lee, chairperson of the Clatsop County commission, met with Sen. Johnson, who pledged her support and promised to carry the resolution at the Legislative session starting Feb. 4.
The resolution notes that Oregon district attorneys are elected employees of the State of Oregon who enforce the state’s laws, and their salaries and other compensation are the state’s responsibility. The state pays its district attorneys far less than comparable appointed state employees, and some counties have been compelled to provide supplemental compensation.
The resolution mirrors the message of a letter Clatsop County commissioners sent Gov. Kulongoski in September. “The Association of Oregon counties represents all 36 counties in Oregon and is a key player in keeping the counties informed about the Legislature’s activities. Passing this resolution through AOC carries much greater weight than any one county could ever hope to muster,” Roberts said.
