State lawmakers in Ohio are weighing proposals to a boost to their salaries and those of other elected officials.



Legislators, statewide officers and most county officials last received a cost of living adjustment in 2008. Judges haven't seen an increase in at least six years.



Rep. Gerald Stebelton has sponsored a pay-raise bill that he says is needed to help Ohio retain and attract professionals to elected positions in government.



Stebelton's proposal was revised this week to push back certain pay raises to 2017 from 2015. All increases would be good until 2023, and then an advisory panel would make pay recommendations.



Senate President Keith Faber wants to create a commission that would set compensation levels for elected public officials. The Legislature would need a supermajority to reject the amounts.
