Members of the Wharton County Commissioners Court are set to give themselves an $8,000 raise when they vote on the county’s $27.8 million budget for 2023 today. That’s a 10.5 percent raise the highest since County Judge Phillip Spenrath took office in 2011. The other 14 elected officials would only get a $5,500 raise as the percentage varies with each position. The raises are part of an effort to appropriately adjust salary ranges that have gotten out of whack over the years according to Spenrath.
