YM County Board approves pay raises

One meeting after approving pay raises for themselves, the Yellow Medicine County Board of Commissioners voted for a six percent raise to salaries for both the YMC Attorney and YMC Sheriff.
In a unanimous vote the board approved the six percent pay raises for County Attorney Keith Helgeson and Sheriff Bill Flaten in 2013, which broke down to a five percent pay increase and a one percent cost of living adjustment.
