A Tehama County Supervisors Salary Increase Question, Measure B was on the June 3, 2014 election ballot for voters in Tehama County, California, where it was defeated.

This would have resulted in an increase of the annual salary of a county supervisor from $12,540 per year to $45,540 per year. It would have cost the county an additional $165,000 per year to raise the salary of each of the five supervisors.

The county supervisors put this measure on the ballot in an effort to bring the salary of Tehama County Supervisors up to the level found in other, similar counties in California. According to Tehama County Chief Administrator Bill Goodwin, the supervisors also intended to make it possible for a more diverse board of supervisors by increasing the salary to make it a financially viable option for younger and less wealthy residents to run for office.[1]
