NATCHEZ, Miss. – Adams County supervisors and their chief administrator said they can’t afford to give pay raises to county employees after a financial review shows various expenditures are quickly eating up incoming revenues.
“We don’t have anything to work with,” said county Administrator Angie King, who noted county departments have been spending too much money not knowing whether it’s in the budget. “They ate it up.”
“There are a lot of negative numbers in our budget. We should never have that,” King told the county board Monday.
She also noted costly spikes in county-provided health insurance for employees are taking large chunks of the budget.
