· KRGV (NBC 5)
Cameron County has approved a 5% pay raise for elected officials and employees, following a 3-2 vote during a commissioners court meeting. The increase will take effect on October 1, 2026. County Judge Eddie Treviño Jr. noted that this is part of a five-year plan aimed at aligning salaries with similar-sized counties in Texas. While previous discussions suggested larger raises of 10-15%, the court settled on the 5% increase. The funding will come from the county's general fund, which relies on property tax revenue, and there will be no increase in the property tax rate this year.
