Board of Supervisors rejects pay raise
The Jasper County Board of Supervisors accepted all of the Compensation Board’s recommendations except for an increase in pay for themselves on Tuesday.
“I will not take a raise,” Supervisor Chairman Denny Stevenson said. “I am more than comfortable with the board’s pay.”
“Since 2009, there have been seven positions that haven’t been filled,” Supervisor Denny Carpenter said. “Elected officials have done a good job, and have saved $407,124. The board has not had a salary increase in six years.”
