Buncombe Register of Deeds among highest-paid in state
Whoever emerges from the struggle to succeed outgoing Buncombe Register of Deeds Otto DeBruhl will inherit a well-funded office. DeBruhl is one of the highest-paid registers in the state, with one of the largest, most highly-compensated staffs.
Commissioners will consider pay cut
With compensation for the Buncombe County Board of Commissioners among the highest in the state, the county announced a proposal to cut travel compensation and the commissioners’ technology allowance, resulting in savings of $12,400 a year per commissioner. The board will vote on the measure Feb. 15.
