The Flint Journal show the Shiawassee County Board of Commissioners voted to give a $25,000 bonus to top-level administrators and $12,500 to department heads. In total, around 250 employees bonuses, which officials described as hazard pay. I think that I earned it, Commissioner
Cindy Garber said. I work really hard at this job. I was here in person all through this crazy year.
Shiawassee County Administrator
Brian Boggs, who was awarded a $25,000 bonus, said he also supported the payments, which were meant to help the employees who work for the county. It was to the benefit of the employees, he said, and perhaps we should not pursue other ideas like this to get them additional funding if this is how it s going to be received.

View Comments American Rescue Plan dollars were intended to help frontline workers and families impacted by the pandemic, not elected officials, said U.S. Rep. Dan Kildee, a Democrat whose district is on the edge of Shiawassee.
Kildee was reacting to news that Republican county commissioners last week signed off on more than $500,000 in hazard pay for dozens of county employees. What s unusual is that commissioners rewarded themselves and other elected officials.
Workers got at least $1,000 but many received much more. The county board chairman and sheriff each got $25,000, along with the county administrator. The prosecutor and county clerk each received $12,500.
