All those raises for the workers via collective bargaining means that the bosses also need raises so that they make more than their staff. This triggers raises for the deputies, who are required by County Code to make "between 50% and 90% of the boss' salary".
Now it's just a question of how the tax hikes will be implemented to pay for this -- my guess is they'll "borrow" some of the "excess" Fuel Tax Revenue, then raise property taxes (but not "pay back" the FTR).
