The Indiana Senate voted 42-5 today to slash the pay of sheriffs.
House Bill 1108 was not amended in the Senate, so now moves to Gov. Mitch Daniels to be signed into law.
The bill -- which passed with no debate in the Senate -- would limit the pay of Indiana sheriffs to what county prosecutors earn. Currently, that’s about $120,000 a year. The proposal would only affect sheriffs elected after November 2010.Sheriffs now are allowed to pocket some of the money from fees on overdue state taxes. That allowed Marion County Sheriff Frank Anderson to make more than $342,000 last year.
