BOSTON (AP) – State trial judges would receive a 15 percent raise, their first in six years, as part of a spending plan released by a key House committee on Friday.

The $300 million supplemental budget also includes $12.5 million to help improve the streets near Fenway Park, $25 million to erase an 8,000-person waiting list for the state’s basic Medicaid program and $100 million for maintenance projects at the state’s public colleges and universities.

Red Sox officials announced earlier this year the team’s plan to stay put in Fenway Park, baseball’s oldest and smallest stadium.

Those plans anticipated some public financing to improve streets and sidewalks around the stadium and to build one or more garages and a new train station at Yawkey Way.

The spending plan, which could be approved by the full House as early as Tuesday, includes $12.5 million for “critical roadway and streetscape improvements to the Sears Rotary, Ipswich Street, Maitland Street and Yawkey Way.” Fenway Park borders Yawkey Way.

The $7 million for judges would increase the yearly pay from $112,777 to about $130,000. The salaries for court clerks and county sheriffs are tied to the judges’ pay. Court clerks make 80 percent of the trial court judge’s salary.

The state’s 370 judges had been seeking a raise of about $34,000 a year, or 30 percent, which would have given them an annual salary of about $146,000.

The Massachusetts Judges Conference, a lobbying group, says the pay rate for Massachusetts judges ranks 46th in the nation when adjusted for cost of living.

The 15 percent pay hike takes effect next year, according to House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Robert DeLeo. The committee members approved the spending plan on Friday.

The budget also includes: $55 million for local road projects; $20 million for low-income fuel assistance programs; $25 million for lawyers representing poor defendants; and $5 million for sea wall repairs.
