SIOUX FALLS, SD (KELO.com) — A dispute is brewing over the salary of Minnehaha County Auditor Leah Anderson. County Commissioners are reviewing compensation for elected officials and department heads. Anderson says she should be getting more. Commissioner Joe Kippley disagrees, and says Anderson’s actions have undermined confidence in the county’s ability to handle elections efficiently and accurately.
Next week, Commissioners will consider three compensation packages for elected department heads. One of those proposals bumps everybody’s base by 7 1/2-percent – except the auditor – whose base would be left the same.
