Jasper County Officially Says No to Increases

Today's Joplin Globe is reporting that Richard Webster, Jasper County auditor, has made it official today by telling members of the county commission that the 2010 budget will include no funding to boost the wages of county workers.  There also was no allocation for salary hikes for workers in the current year’s budget.

Webster was quoted earlier this month saying “I don’t see how there can be any increases, in any shape or form, next year,”


This supports comments made earlier by Webster and mentioned on this blog.
