JAMES MADISON QUOTE - 1822

"A popular government without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a Prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy; or, perhaps both. Knowledge will forever govern ignorance; and a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power knowledge gives."

Jackson County Commission Meeting - County Employees Get Pay Raise


Today's Agenda


The big news, all county employees will receive a 3% pay raise. The Probate Office Employees will receive a 5% pay raise. Last month the Commission's administrative staff received a 5% pay raise for the additional workload of the County Park.

Will the commission's administrative staff receive an additional 3% pay raise? Will County Employees, specifically male personnel in the county maintainace department file an unfair personnel practices grievance due to unfair payroll treatment and sexual discrimination for the unbalanced pay increases favoring female office personnel in the county commission and probate offices?

The County Commissions Budget was submitted and approved. After the meeting I inquired of the County Administrator, Sandra Erickson, as to the amount of the approved budget, she stated the Department Expense Budget is $16 million with expected revenue receipts of $15.5 million. She further stated the $500K shortfall would come from the General Fund Budget.
