Cheyenne County Commissioners will receive a 20 percent pay increase for the 2017-18 budget year. The combined salary for all three officials in 2016 was $63,798.12, and will increase to an estimated $80,000 for the new budget year. “The board has to set official salary by January of the election year so that people know what they’re going to pay their 1 percent filing fee on,” Beth Fiegenschuh, county clerk, said.
