Carroll County Abolishes County Treasurer Post
The legislature passed a measure abolishing the county treasurer’s office in Carroll after the current term. The law cuts the salary to 250 and directs funds to be deposited in the bank offering the highest interest, increasing revenue while ending the treasurer role. A suit by former treasurer Earnest Johnson seeks over 10 thousand in commissions.
