Wilson County budget committee backs recommendation for 6% employee pay increase
The Wilson County Budget Committee voted to recommend a pay proposal that adds a 4% table adjustment on top of a guaranteed 2% step (6% total) and directs $1.4 million to the county insurance fund; the committee identified interest income, a $200,000 recapture from hotel‑motel receipts, judge tax receipts and growth money as funding sources. The recommendation is not the final budget adoption.
