County solons pass salary increases for all personnel
Terry County Commissioners approved a five percent pay increase for all county employees as part of the 1984 budget by a two to one vote. Commissioner Delton Gregg was absent. Judge Herbert Chesshir said he would have voted in favor to break a potential tie. Smith opposed the motion on the broader idea of exempting elected and appointed officials, but his alternative motion died for lack of a second. The board also discussed transferring county tax collections to the appraisal district, with only Union School District currently keeping its own tax collection. Brock indicated he would continue hospital district collections until move is made. See Collector Page 10A.
