My involvement with the criminal justice system is a little.... well, let's say convoluted; suffice to say I had a friend behind bars and I spent a fair bit of time visiting Billerica and doing research. It was an interesting experience. Anyways, your favorite PO sounds like someone I've met in my misadventures.... it's really inspiring when you meet somebody who goes far above and beyond the call of duty, especially when it's so easy to burn out. He's not out of Somerville courthouse by any chance, is he? So, I randomly stumbled my way here, and I’ve really enjoyed reading back through your entries and hearing your perspective on things.

The salary situation sucks, both for the full-time PDs and for the prosecutors. The hourly rate situation for CPCS work is horrible. I've been doing this for over ten years and I wish I could tell you that it'll get better. (Today's too rainy and grey a day for the "buck up little buckaroo" post.) You've got relatively few options, sadly. A second job. Private clients at market rates. Or working in another state that pays better for public defense work. The existing situation has driven away a lot of good attorneys. I had hoped the legislature would see the light after the last crisis, but the latest budget mess gives me no confidence they value our work.
