Did you get a 5 – percent pay raise this year? The folks who run Cole County will. ABC – 17 reports elected officials will get the hike after it was approved by the County’s Salary Commission. The three county commissioners actually voted against the plan. Meanwhile Cole County employees will see their health insurance pay – in cost double next year. But it’s still a bargain .. they’ll only pay about $50 a month.
