Court probes clerk salaries as pay hikes loom
A week-long Common Pleas hearing into the Clark of Courts Violet Whitman office finances continues Monday with 21 staff pay hikes at issue. Judge Mitchell F Shaker questions clerk Jeanette Laker about why some workers received up to 20 percent raises while union rules required promotions to higher roles. Whitman argues the five-office operation is being unfairly singled out as a deficit remains about 12 000 dollars due to sick leave and retirement benefits. A county jobs study by Clemans Nelson and Associates is due by December 2 and must be approved by the AFSCME Local 2493 before implementation.
