Well, unless you work for these thieves. I have to assume this is not a one-time deal! The feds give the county money and they keep it for their own personal gain! Many of these employees have been sitting on their arses at home or working part-time since the covig madness began.
Benton County is boosting its employee benefits, including a one-time bonus, because of the pandemic.
The Benton County Board of Commissioners at its Oct. 5 meeting unanimously approved a plan that will offer $600 one-time bonuses, add two holidays to the ones employees already receive and offer health and wellness days during the coming year.
The county is using American Rescue Plan Act funds to pay for the program, board Chair Xan Augerot said. County officials estimate that the bonus program will cost approximately $445,000.
