Ward blasts board over Wyatt bonuses in Henderson County
Henderson County Commission candidate Don Ward decries county manager Steve Wyatt’s bonuses, asking why awards were approved in closed session. Records show Wyatt has $226,700 in bonuses since March 2016, including a $75,000 lump sum and a $14,342 retention payout, with a $191,227 regular salary. Ward argues openness is needed while incumbents defend the payments as market-competitive and justified by performance.
