Across-the-board pay cuts for top officers of the state of California being made in the midst of a budget crisis include an 18 percent decrease for the next attorney general after Jerry Brown finishes his current term.

Approved Wednesday by a 5-1 vote of the California Citizens Compensation Commission, the salary reduction will cut Brown’s $184,301 salary to a little over $150,000, according to Legal Newsline.

Brown is expected to seek the Democratic nomination for governor in the 2010 election.
