Being your watchdog isn't always popular Last week, I mentioned local governments fighting a similar battle as privately owned businesses as both are finding it difficult to hire or keep committed employees. To add to last week's observation, there is also a huge difference in how we handle those bumpy waters.As mentioned last week, Nash County, and local municipalities, are getting slammed with requests for pay raises from their public service departments. Of course we want our law enforcement, fire fighters and EMS staff to be paid what they're worth which is honestly "priceless" when it comes to the folks who risk their lives everyday to protect and serve us!
