State agency heads get double raises in South Carolina
Heads of state agencies will receive average 5 percent raises, about double the 2.5 percent across the rest of state workers. The Budget and Control Board approved the pay package for 54 department heads with at least a year in their posts, while rank and file workers gained a July 1 cost of living increase. Critics say the pattern hurts morale among veterans and low-wage staff.
