The Clarion Ledger reports today: "Senate Bill 2647 would allow a 22 percent hike for tax assessors and tax collectors, along with a $5,000 bonus for anyone serving in both capacities. Supervisors, sheriffs, justice court judges and coroners would see a 20 percent hike. County attorneys, court reporters, bailiffs, constables, circuit clerks and chancery clerks would see raises based on other criteria, such as years of experience. The provisions revise the salary scale, which is tied to the county's assessed valuation or, in some cases, its population."
