SIOUX FALLS, S.D.(KELO)- It’s an across the board 7 1/2-percent raise for Minnehaha county elected officials…but not without heated debate.

Commissioner Joe Kippley was critical of Auditor Leah Anderson in the process, and that drew a roomful of supporters for the Auditor.

Kippley says Anderson has undermined confidence in her office.

A week ago, Commissioner Kippley proposed the 7 1/2-percent raise for everyone except Anderson.

That drew a crowd of Anderson’s supporters to the commission meeting.

Kippley tried to explain his position by quoting Ronald Reagan.

After an hour-long discussion the five commissioners voted unanimously to approve raises for all, including Anderson.
