Cathy Ward, member of the Boone County Finance, Taxation and Salaries Committee has criticized the county board of health for raising employee salaries between 13.9 and 55.7 percent.
Cathy Ward, who’s also on the county board, read from a lengthy statement at the committee’s Oct. 8 meeting. She said she was “stunned that any board in today’s economy would grant such salary hikes …”
“I thought it must be a mistake,” she continued. “A few days later I went back to double check the amount and found there was no mistake. Then I started to get phone calls from former employees and other who were equally stunned, disturbed and angry. I received another one this morning.
