Salary problems plague District Clerk's office
District Clerk Dixie Connolly said she sought permission to raise deputy salaries but was denied by the Val Verde County Commissioners' Court in a closed session. She cited staff losses and a depleted pay scale as harming the handling of 20 drug cases, a murder, and robberies, appealing for a one-step increase for her assistants with backing from the Val Verde County Bar Association. The court's budget notes included scrapping the racetrack manager position, a decision then amended to retain a track role under a different plan.

He cites the Legislature's intent for a 40th percentile cutoff, noting the 23rd percentile risks pushing children from English language instruction.
