CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas â It was a frustrating time for several members of the Nueces County District Attorneyâs office after an agenda displayed there would be a discussion surrounding a significant pay increase for the countyâs court administrator â a position that has already seen several raises since 2017.
That item prompted many attorneys to speak out during Commissioners Court this past Wednesday. This time â representing themselves and their livelihood.
âI do not know if this person deserves a pay raise,â said Will Greenlee, Nueces Country Assistant District Attorney. âWhat I do know â is optics and talent â each of you know the budget. You know how underpaid this district attorneys office is⦠If prosecuting criminals is a priority, then it should show in the budget.
