Salary critique prompts reform in Herrin politics
Herrin faces criticism over city salaries as mayor and city clerk earn 4200 yearly while a 1967-68 budget of 754268.58 funds millions in bonds. Alderman McCarty calls the clerk’s pay an economic injustice, citing a fair figure near 11197.89. The council approved bond issuance and minimal raises for police and fire, but not for clerical pay, risking future budget strains.
