County leaders look at employee retention with budget planning

Increasing salaries and employee retention was at the helm of budget requests during last week’s budget workshop in front of the Bowie County Commissioners Court.

“It looks like we’re all battling the same monster when it comes to that. If you’ve got good people and you can’t pay them, they go where they can get paid. It’s tough,” said James Strain, Precinct 3 Commissioner.

The court met for their annual budget workshop last Monday at the Bowie County Courthouse.
