Suit Involving State Fund Set for Hearing
Circuit Judge Walter B. Jones scheduled a Monday hearing on a suit by State Comptroller John Graves challenging Gov. James E. Folsom’s use of the temporary clerk hire fund.

The governor currently spends about $100,000 yearly for salaries of investigators and administrative staff. A separate bill to cap the clerk fund was vetoed by Folsom last year.
