Lawmakers recently gave the state's top elected officials and judges a pay raise, and pay increases for some executive branch employees have helped fill vacancies.
speech in January, Utah Supreme Court Chief Justice Matthew Durrant asked lawmakers for a 10% increase in pay for judges in the state.delivered, increasing judicial salaries by around 10% and adding around 5% to the salaries for the governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general, state auditor and state treasurer.
Although Utah generally pays top elected officials more than the median salary of other states, Barrand said the rates are much lower than private companies would pay for similar leadership roles such as CEO. "People love the AG's office because we do damn good work and ... the issues are interesting, but we couldn't get people to apply anymore because we couldn't pay them anymore," he said. "You'd be a fool to work for us for $75,000 when you could work for a Salt Lake City law firm for $200,000 if you've got kids and a mortgage."
