At times during this week’s Statesboro City Council meeting, it appeared that some or all of the city’s 250-plus employees might not get a proposed 2.5 percent raise.A study of the city’s pay scale by an outside organization sounded like a possibility. But in the end, the raise was approved, along with the rest of the fiscal 2015 budget. Councilman Will Britt, who voiced objections for the longest, wound up making the motion to accept a set of budget assumptions that included the full raise.After the meeting, Britt said he remains concerned about growth in the cost and size of Statesboro’s government.“We’ve gone from an $8 million payroll to a $12 million payroll very quickly,” he said.His other point had been that the raise will not fix inequities in the pay scale.
