ELKHART, Ind. --- Elkhart County's Sheriff wants raises for his employees.
Sheriff Brad Rogers says low wages have prompted employees to leave for jobs at factories, fast food restaurants and other law enforcement departments.
He blames a 2008 decision to freeze raises that made his department's wages among the lowest in the region.
