It's a 483 million-dollar spending plan. Commission Chair Pete Meitzner tells KNSS News he wants to boost wages for county firefighters, to keep up with wages for Wichita city firefighters. Meitzner says the county can't make up for ten years of wages "neglect in one year".
Meitzner also says dealing with the COVID pandemic has been challenging because the picture has been constantly changing.
Meitzner commented during his weekly chat with Steve and Ted in the Morning on KNSS.
