Court approves FY27 elected-official compensation plan with no salary increases (4–1)
Summary
The Commissioners Court reviewed FY27 elected-official compensation and, despite an auditor report of $51 million in unassigned fund balance, voted 4–1 to approve the proposed compensation package with no salary increases for elected officials this year.
The Gregg County Commissioners Court reviewed the proposed FY27 compensation for elected officials and approved the budget as presented without salary increases. The court's auditor reported an available unassigned fund balance of $51,000,000 during discussion, and commissioners debated whether to use funds for raises; the motion to make no changes passed 4–1.
The court discussed prior across‑the‑board adjustments (a $5,000 increase referenced two years earlier) and commissioners said the current budget did not include new raises. One commissioner noted the county could consider raises later, but the majority voted to hold off for budgetary reasons. The clerk recorded the 4–1 outcome in the minutes.
