(Franklin County, Ind.) – Pay raises could be in order for county employees in Franklin County.

At a recent meeting, county commissioners proposed a five percent raise for all county employees in 2019, reports The Franklin County Observer Newsletter.

The raises would be for 75 cents or $1 per hour depending on the individual's commercial driver’s license. An additional 25 cents would be tacked on for anyone with a hazmat certification.
