Jackson Tax Collector Eddie Fair says his private and public sector experience will serve him well when he's mayor.

Two Hinds County officials are requesting salary increases for selected employees, despite a tight county budget. Tax Collector Eddie Fair and County Attorney Sherri Flowers are scheduled to request the raises for their employees at this morning's meeting of the Hinds County Board of Supervisors.

Supervisors voted in Sept. 2009, soon after approving the county's 2010 budget, to slash 74 jobs from the county payroll.
