County cuts deputy sheriff salary amid political clash
County commissioners move to eliminate the second deputy sheriff J W Lynch after March 10 claiming single deputy suffices. A petition from business leaders seeks to keep two deputies, citing increased sheriff's workload, more prisoners, and higher service demands. The move appears politically charged against Sheriff Graham, a Democrat, as other offices gain deputies and raises.
