County Administrator John McCarthy pointed out later that a disparity from county to county has always existed in compensations of Constitutional Officers, like SherifTs Office, the Clerk of the Circuit Court, the Commonwealths Attorney and so on. Those officers in counties lying particularly to the east of Rappahannock earn more. The state of Virginia determines these compensation levels.

If one Constitutional Officer receives a supplemental, in other words, aren’t all constitutional officers justified in asking for the same?
