Then in 2012, Mr. Champagne’s Salary jumped more than the 3% merit raise he received every year.

His prior employment contract was replaced by this.

Since then he’s jumped even more to this.

As of last year, his pay is now: $170,498 per year which based on his contract is roughly $80 per hours at 40 hours a week for 52 weeks.  What was even more telling was the number of people who make over $100K a year at the Sheriff’s office.
