Harris County Commissioners Decline $40,000 Raise for County Treasurer

Harris County commissioners on Tuesday declined a $40,000 salary increase for County Treasurer Carla Wyatt, whose office the court is seeking to dissolve [1]. A publicly-led county salary grievance committee had voted last month to recommend the raise, which would have lifted Wyatt's pay to $179,000 and was about $126,000 less than what she initially sought [1]. The recommendation appeared on the Commissioners Court agenda [1].
