Elected officials in a Michigan county gave themselves $65,000 in bonuses with federal relief money related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
CORUNNA, Mich. --
Besides Root, commissioners John Plowman and Brandon Marks each received $10,000, and the other four commissioners got $5,000 each.“I think that I earned it," Commissioner Cindy Garber said of the bonus. “I work really hard at this job. I was here in-person all through this crazy year.” The county administrator, Brian Boggs, who received $25,000, said the focus on commissioners was overshadowing an effort to assist county workers.
Garber said the large payment for Root was justified because he “bears the burden of all emergency orders.”
