KANE COUNTY, Ill. - Kane County is trying to lure in more animal control workers.

The county approved a plan Tuesday to up the salaries of its workers.

Kennel workers will now get $16 an hour, and the shelter program and operations will get $23 an hour.

The administrator will be paid $80,000 a year.

The county says it has been losing workers to other counties that pay better, and are hoping the pay increase will make it more competitive.
