We asked Patty Sheldon , administrator for Financial Services for Escambia County Clerk of Court and Comptroller, to compare the county’s payroll for the first quarter of this fiscal year (Oct-Dec 2008) with last year’s first quarter to see if Escambia County did save money by offering it’s senior leaders early retirement.
