(Linn County, IA) -- Linn County workers and elected officials will be getting a 4% raise.
The Board of Supervisors approved the increase by a two-to-one vote from an unexpected budget surplus for the upcoming fiscal year.
The surplus allowed them to increase a planned 3.5% pay bump by an additional half-percent.
Republican Brandy Meisheid was the only no vote saying that extra half-percent could have been spent on other county projects.
