Ex-Staffer Sues Fund for 7200 Consulting Fee
A former State Workmen's Compensation Fund employee, Fred L. Rippetoe, sues for 7200 dollars claiming owed consulting fees after retiring at 65. He says the fund’s commissioner urged him to form Mountain State Consultant Inc and pay was to come from the fund for 1966 67 work. The attorney general advised against the payment and the petition cites an improper contract and equitable obligation to pay.
