A proposed pay raise for an embattled county treasurer has been declined by county commissioners. The raise in question was for $40,000. A committee established to review salary complaints had recommended this amount, which is significantly less than the treasurer's original request.

The original request was for a raise of $126,000 more than the recommended amount. Further details about the decision and the treasurer's original request are available from the source. The committee's recommendation was made last month, but the commissioners have opted not to approve the raise.
