Dallas County Commissioners have approved a
20-percent pay raise for themselves and 34 other
officials..but it may not be a permanent situation.
The raise..effective December I6th..will probably
be erased January first..when state law puts the
County officials &n a lower pay bracket.Right now..
Dallas County officials are higher paid than those
in Harris County..but when the new Census figures
on population become official in January..Dallas
County will fall below Harris County in pay scales.
District Attorney Henry Wade will be asked to
interpret the law..to determine whether the Commissioners
will have to give up their self.administered raises.
