Local Law No. 1 To Be Discussed Tomorrow

By Robert Harding

The Orleans County Legislature will hold a public hearing prior to tomorrow’s meeting regarding Local Law No. 1. The public hearing will take place at 4:25 p.m.

This local law is for the approval of pay raises that will be given to some county administrators. The list includes:

Highway Superintendent: Proposed salary – $73,730

Director of Personnel: Proposed salary – $60,687

Real Property Tax Director: Proposed salary – $60,687

County Treasurer: Proposed salary – $63,799 (includes $1,400 longevity bonus)

County Clerk: Proposed salary – $57,779 (includes $375 longevity bonus)

County Attorney: Proposed salary – $73,730

Social Services Commissioner: Proposed salary – $75,130 (includes $1,400 longevity bonus)

Public Defender: Proposed salary – $62,399

Sheriff: Proposed salary – $73,730

Coroners: Proposed salary -$1,656 (not including $100 per case payment)

My question to all of you: How many of you are making that kind of money? (Meaning, how many of you are making $60,000 or $70,000 a year?)
