Commissioners Table Wage Adjustments until Next Week

TYLER — The Smith County Commissioners Court held a meeting Tuesday, but one agenda item has been tabled for another week. KETK reports a salary grievance committee was formed to discuss possible wage adjustments for some elected officials. Committee members had the chance to make recommendations to the court about each individual — and then their suggestions would be voted on by the commissioners. But on Tuesday, they were short one commissioner, so County Judge Joel Baker recommended tabling the vote until next week. Baker remarked, “We can discuss it today. We can consider on it today. I don’t believe a vote should be taken today, but if one is taken, I’ll request that we have another vote next week when Commissioner Warr is present.”
