Supervisors Trim County Officials Raises Amid Election-Year Gripes
Linn County supervisors approve 3.75 percent raises for elected officials after a 93.5 million budget vote, drawing fire from Sheriff Don Zeller, Col. Karl Kolz, and Jail Administrator Michael Carr who call the move politically motivated. The county attorney’s pay stays capped at district judge levels, and tax levy remains adjusted for a slight decrease per thousand despite a rising tax base.
