Tehama County Measure E: Board of Supervisors Salary Charter Amendment
What does this measure do?
Measure E changes Tehama County's charter to set each of the 5 county supervisors' pay at a full-time state minimum wage salary, about $35,000 a year, up from $12,540 set in 1989. Taxpayers pay the raise from the county budget, and pay would rise on its own when the minimum wage goes up.
