Whitley County prosecutor asks council for pay flexibility to retain deputies; council delays decision for updated compensation study County prosecutor DJ Sigler told the Whitley County Council that case filings and new mandates have strained staff and requested authority to expand a county-funded deputy prosecutor pay range to $120,000 and $13,006.88 in additional county funding for a child-support deputy; council voted 6–1 to obtain an updated WIS compensation/workload report and postpone final action for one month.

Whitley County's prosecutor is sounding the alarm over staffing shortages and is pushing for a pay increase to attract qualified attorneys, but the council is hitting pause for further review.
