Sheriff Bragg wins approval to restructure STEP pay plan, add supervisor differentials

Sheriff Bragg told the commissioners court he wants to restructure the department's STEP pay plan so officers begin receiving smaller annual increases starting in year two, rather than lump-sum increases at years 3, 5 and 7. He also proposed modest increases to supervisor differentials: an additional $0.50 per hour for corporals, $150 for sergeants and $2 for lieutenants.
