Adair County Fiscal Court 12 Jan 2016 - Report Court passes raise, but it's called "laughable" by private citizen. County Judge says he was told by State Auditors that he must turn in expenses ordinarily charged to the county, and which he has not done in his first year in office. Court argues, but comes to no conclusion, on issue of Deputy CJE, CFO, and Road Foreman being classified as hourly or salaried employees. This is one of several stories on the court meeting which will be posted today, with links along the way By Ed Waggener Last night's regular session of Adair Fiscal Court was long, lasting over two and one-half hours, lively, and held some surprising moments. The court approved a 30-cent-per-hour raise, across the board for hourly workers. Criticism, though, of the tiny raise, came not from employees, nor were there protests from the no-taxes-no-time-no-way-never-ever folks. This time it was from citizens in the gallery who appreciate all the services the county renders. Ken Edwards, an Adair Countian who was formerly a county worker in Florida, was the first to speak out, telling the court that the raise was laughable. "If you are going to keep good employees, keep your good people in the county," he said, "You're going to have to pay them."
