If Measure 17-116 passes and Commissioner John West stays at his present rate of pay until the next election, is the county lawfully obligated to pay the other four commissioners the same rate of pay? This pertains to what Mr. West refers to as the "Equal Pay Law".

No, because Measure 17-116 is a NEW charter, not an amendment and it clearly states the transitional pay arrangement. The court cases cited by the opposition were amendments to charters.
