Mercer County deputies seek raise amid rising workload
At the June 16 meeting Parks praised gains with limited funds and noted improvements to the courthouse and better insurance, vehicles, and equipment. Deputies seek salary raises, citing long hours and family disruption. Lt Carey said higher pay would aid families as calls disrupt personal time. Buckner pledged to review figures. Archer and Puckett supported consideration amid budget constraints and jail costs projected near 1.9 million. Two corrections officers were approved to ease workload, funded partly by the city of Princeton, with ongoing talks on pay.
