County Commission OKs raises for DA’s office, eliminating pay disparity
Shelby County District Attorney General Steve Mulroy, backed by more than a dozen employees on the steps outside Shelby County Commission chambers, said he is "ecstatic" about a vote to approve pay raises for the DA's office. Before the Monday, Feb. 5, 2024, vote, DA employees paid by the state were paid as much as $70,000 more than those paid by the county. (Julia Baker/The Daily Memphian)
The DA’s office will now receive $991,178 for the remainder of the fiscal year 2024, which comes out of the general fund balance. Each following fiscal year, the DA’s office will receive $2.98 million.
