THIS Spring, the supervisors met “in committee” to discuss the budget and agreed to a 5.5% raise for constitutional employes.
On June 6, the supervisors met publically to pass a resolution giving County employes the raise, but the decision was soon reversed by the State Compensation Board— which declared the June 6 resolution illegal, and allowed that certain constitutional salaries must go higher than 5%.
Salaries were raised. Even some “non-constitutional” employes got comparable raises, notably the Clerk of the Court and the Deputy Clerk, and this irritated H. B. Wood.
Wood recalled the committee meeting when a 5.5% raise was decided upon, and turned on the Clerk of the Court E. M. Jones to ask why the Board’s resolution had not been passed on to the State Compensation Board in time for appeal.
(Since the supervisors had not petitioned the State Board at its regular hearing date, State officials wrote Jones that constitutional employes in Rappahannock must be paid according to the State Compensation Board’s pay scale.)
Chairman Newbill Miller defended Jones.
