Pettis County Sheriff Kevin Bond said he’s pleased with the Thursday passage of a Senate bill that could subsidize Missouri deputies’ pay.
Turning aside some budgetary concerns, state senators endorsed legislation to boost the salaries of sheriffs’ deputies by raising fees for many legal actions. Bond credited the bill’s sponsor state Sen. John Greisheimer, calling him a strong advocate for Missouri sheriffs.
