Correction Officers At The Jail And Their Bonus

Recently the County Commission rightly approved giving the severely underpaid Correction Officers at the county jail a small bonus and promise to revise the pay scale for jail employees.
Some of the breakfast club members got the word that officers at the jail had taken the bonuses then resigned which of course would have defeated the whole purpose of the bonuses.
To set the record straight one person at the jail resigned their position in order to move with their husband who was being transferred  out of the county through his job.  There have been some temporaries hired at the jail to fill in for personnel who have been deployed with their Guard and reserve units.

You couldn't find a group of more deserving folks. It's about time the county stepped up and took a look at the situation of pay out there. That's gotta be one of the worst jobs ever.

Mr Barrett, thanks for finding out the truth and squelching the rumors. There are some elected officials who ought to get things out too, before popping off their mouth.

But why not squelch another rumor that's going about town?

If what I've heard is true, I believe you will be just as interested in hearing about it.

If it all that big why isn't it being told on WKSR?
Gossip is cheap and dangerous.

If one person is interested in gossip, why should the rest of us be interested?
