Finney County Commission asks attorney to re submit budget
The Finney County Commission voted 3-2 to have County Attorney Susan Richmeier re submit her 2017 department budget after a heated debate over including a 3 percent salary raise for nine deputy attorneys. County Administrator Randy Partington had instructed wage increases be held flat for 2017 pending July valuations. Richmeier defended the need to raise pay to attract and retain staff, noting salaries comparisons with other counties. The discussion highlighted tension between the attorney's office and county management amid broader personnel concerns for about 350 employees.
