Beattie predicts vote will be unanimous on sheriff wage deal
Supervisor Francis H Beattie foresees a unanimous Board of Supervisors vote to approve a sheriff salary package ending a two day strike. The plan, argued over by four supervisors and pending fifth member George Clyde, rests on Clyde’s reportedly favorable stance after personal talks at the hospital.
