Ector County approves deputy pay hikes amid staffing worries
Ector County commissioners vote a 12 percent starting deputy raise and 9 percent for current deputies, plus a 3 percent cost of living bump for all staff, aiming to curb turnover after six deputies left for higher pay. A midstream poll shows 75 percent backing a 15 percent deputy raise, with Sheriff Mark Donaldson seeking 18 percent to align with regional pay scales.
