Legislation Planned To Increase Salaries Of Sheriff's Deputies
State lawmakers plan to raise sheriff deputies pay by about 20 percent transporting the sheriff from 1800 dollars yearly to 2100. The head deputy would rise from 320 to 225 monthly, another deputy from 150 to 175, and a third from 1710 to 173, with two clerks and a bankkeeper deputy also adjusting their pay. Senate aides say both deputies perform the same work, warranting equal salaries, and the bill would shift the office from a fixed fee basis to a salary system under Local Act 145.
