Upstate prosecutor questions funding for McMaster plan
Greenville and Pickens county prosecutor Robert Ariail calls $2.2 million insufficient to place a prosecutor in every county. He notes salary and benefits rise above the proposed average of 47 826 per county and cites caseload disparities across circuits. McMaster argues rural counties would benefit and that more prosecutors are needed to curb domestic violence.
