Salary Raises in Erie Co. Face Legislative Opposition

ERIE COUNTY – The Erie County Legislature will vote next Thursday on a recommendation to raise salaries for four elected officials, but the measure faces fierce opposition from the Republican-led majority.

This fall, the Erie County Salary Review Commission recommended an increase in pay for the County Executive ($103,248 to $126,400), Clerk ($79,092 to $91,800), Comptroller ($80,613 to $98,750) and Sheriff ($79,092 to $102,400). These four positions have not collected a raise since 1996.
