COMPENSATION OF PUBLIC OFFICIALS, EMPLOYEES, INDIVIDUAL PUBLIC CONTRACTORS. INITIATIVE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT AND STATUTE. Sets Governor's annual salary at $80,000; other undefined "Constitutional" officers at $52,500. Limits maximum compensation of elected or appointed state and local government employees, and indidividual public contractors to 80% of Governor's salary. Requires people's vote to increase salaries of constitutional officers, members of Board of Equalization, legislators, judiciary, and specified local elected officers. Limits employees serving in more than one paid public position to an aggregate compensation, including public pensions, not exceeding 80% of Governor's salary. Other limitations. Summary of estimate by Legislative Analyst and Director of Finance of fiscal impact on state and local governments: Actual state and local governmental savings are not certain; savings will depend on inter-relationship of salary and benefit savings generated by measure, with unknown offsetting cost increases relating to competency of performance at reduced pay levels, and voters' approval of subsequent pay increases.
