Proud to see deal worked out on pay for deputies By Vicky Pike I was so glad a proposal by Magistrate Chris Reeder to increase deputy pay by $5 per hour was passed Tuesday night. Thank you to Chris for his work on this proposal. Hallelujah we will have our Sheriff's Department better staffed if we have an emergency or worse what happened in Russell County. I won't go to the negative side here at placing blame. It's not about how much one dislikes another. It's about our Sheriff's deputies that have stuck with us like deputy Gary Roy said. Attached is a very happy picture of Judge Bryant and Magistrate Reeder. 2024-09-27 09:13:42 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback
