Sheriff protests pay gaps with city officers in Linn County
Linn County Sheriff Orlie Workman argues his $21 000 plus raise by July 1 salary plus top aides do not match Cedar Rapids city officials. He cites National Sheriffs Association study showing national sheriff median at 13 800 with 25 percent at 17 576 or more. Workman notes deputies’ pay lags despite growing demand for county law enforcement and says compensation should align with city officials.
