As to who favors it:

"Chair Irene Fernando proposed the increase"

Opposed: Kevin Anderson, District 7 Commissioner
"The amount that is being proposed for our specific salaries are well outside the range that we would offer to adjust for other job classifications," said Kevin Anderson, District 7 Commissioner. He is one of two commissioners who voted against the raise."
