Controversy Over County Judge Hinds Salary Debate
The Bull etin defends its earlier report on Judge Hinds salary, correcting claims about his chairmanship and salary elevations. It cites Board of Supervisors actions on July 1872, reveals adjustments to Hinds wages to 1500 per annum plus back pay, and argues the record supports its stance while noting the broader context of county officer salaries and legal limits.
