Capital City Deputy Pay Boost Tied to County Budget
The proposed 1951 Travis County budget forecasts a 7.5 percent raise for deputies and a 10 percent hike for staff earning 2000 dollars or less, while officials expect about 30 percent increases. Officials warn tax revenue must rise as valuations stay capped and a reallocation plan may require a new vote by year end to fund 1952 services. The county faces a growing overdraft in the jury fund and efforts to limit jury costs amid rising expenses.
