MARSHALL CO. — Law clerks working for county departments could soon be making nearly $6 more per hour.
Judge Dean Colvin asked Marshall County Council members to raise the pay range available to pay law clerks Monday.
“I can’t compete anymore,” said Colvin, adding that he keeps losing his clerks to better-paying positions.
The current county pay range for law clerks is between $11.37 and $13.08 per hour. Colvin’s current clerk will be leaving at the end of the week for a job that pays $18 per hour.
