Jackson courthouse denies raises in 1982 budget
Jackson County board approves a budget with three new sheriff's deputies and funds for a new computer while courthouse employees get no raise. Officials cite tight funds, but critics say money exists for raises and question overstaffing in clerk and treasurer offices. The plan includes a new traffic offense fee and a higher deputy salary total, with no pay increases for courthouse staff in the Dec 1 1981 to Nov 30 1982 period.
