Wage raises spark WV salary dispute in Braxton County
West Virginia officials discuss whether Braxton County officials Perrine should receive the 20 dollar raise or retain 40 dollar monthly pay amid a 1947 847 legislative change. Assistant Attorney General Marland notes split authority and cites case language to suggest settling the issue by term rather than individual. A separate Marshall College leave case holds a naval service extension not guaranteed by public service law.
