I don't think that's true at all.
The base salary for a Justice is ~$270k as of 2021.
- kelipso 3y agoThe guy is pretty old, I'm sure he has at least a million dollars worth of wealth, probably just from his house he has a million dollars.
- Ancapistani 3y agoTrue, but net worth is far from the same thing as income. That $1m house costs him money to keep up. FWIW, I don’t think $750k would be too much for a Justice’s salary. It wouldn’t hurt, and would likely pay for itself just through the reduced motivation for corruption. We shouldn’t have top-level public servants that are struggling financially. We shouldn’t make them ultra wealthy, but paying them enough to live comfortably even if they’re terrible with money and live paycheck to paycheck seems like a reasonable approach.
