Cooley could get paid about $300,000

Alison Hewitt reports that the county's elected district attorney, Steve Cooley, is in line for a raise. If approved today, that will bump his salary up to $292,300.

Either way, he'll get a cost of living adjustment from $236,829 to $246,302.

I know the District Attorney's office is busy and all, as Frank Girardot points out in his column. But is $292,300 justified? We'll wait and see what the Board of Sups decides today.
