Coroner dispute over payments for body removal services
The coroner, Rucker, claims about $40,000 in unpaid services since April 2014 and warns of discontinuing aid without payment. Carlton seeks to keep Rucker’s services pending a hearing while the county faces procurement questions and bids that favored Palmetto Mortuary Transport. The case involves bid processes, funding freezes, and alleged FOIA/process violations with officials supporting Rucker and Palmetto’s bid.
