The two-year budget proposed last week by Gov. Dannel P. Malloy includes raises for the state’s judges and an overall fiscal boost for the state Judicial Branch.

Superior Court judges salaries would increase from $146,800 to $162,751 over a two-year period, at an additional cost to the state of $5.5 million. The raises would amount to 5.3 percent per year, which is the same amount proposed by a special committee appointed to investigate judicial salaries last fall.
