Four Magistrates In Jail Force Fiscal Court Session
Four Pike County magistrates remained jailed Tuesday and the Fiscal Court met with them in jail for a historic 15 minute session. They approved their room and board bills but blocked the Pike County school budget which would raise property taxes by about ten percent. Magistrate Taylor Justice led resistance, saying they would not authorize more taxes and arguing the tax hike should be twenty percent. Judge Sparks warned the four that, under state law, they must approve a legal budget or remain jailed. The courthouse plan forced a jail meeting as the court consented to bills for the magistrates while the school budget faced delay and potential cuts. Justice quipped about dining costs as one magistrate attended the meeting.
