Sullivan County Teachers Remain Uncertain About A Pay Raise After A Resolution Failed To Secure Enough Votes At A Special Commission Meeting. The Resolution, Proposing 15% Raises Funded By The School System’s General Fund, Needed 13 Votes But Received Only 12, With Ten Commissioners Voting No. Mayor Richard Venable Warned The County Might Need A Tax Increase To Support The Raise. Discussions Are Continuing.
