SIKESTON, Mo. (AP) — County prosecutors in Missouri are headed for a big raise and there's nothing they or county officials can do to stop it.The Sikeston Standard Democrat (http://bit.ly/1ijR2tU ) reports the Missouri Office of Prosecution Services told Mississippi County's clerk the pay increase is effective July 1.State law sets the pay for full-time prosecuting attorneys at the same amount as associate circuit judges. In Mississippi County those salaries will go from $116,000 a year to $133,716.The increase won't go into effect for places like Bollinger and Perry counties, which have only part-time prosecutors.The pay for associate court judges is set by law at 73 percent of the salary for a federal magistrate judge.The raises cannot be withheld by the county commission nor refused by the prosecutor.
