Treasurer Sheltra Defies Order Rehires Clerks
County Treasurer Sheltra ignored a Monday order from County Commissioner Chairman Cle ment Auger and rehired Doris and Celina Camire, two clerks fired 10 days earlier. Justice Glassman advised Sheltra by telephone to fulfill duties, so Sheltra moved the workers to the commissioners’ office, then had them return to the treasurer’s area per written directive. The dispute jeopardizes payroll, with Sheltra promising to cover any shortfall. Auger warned they would not be paid. The episode follows a budget court dispute and raises potential court action over pay and authority.
