County Commission takes final votes on pay raises
Commissioner Van Turner proposed the pay raise for the commission that he will leave at the end of August 2022 because of term limits. (Daily Memphian file)
The votes at the last meeting of 2021 will determine if the commission itself should get a pay hike and whether the mayor and sheriff also get raises. If approved, the raises would take effect after next year’s county elections.
