County pay rules prompt questions of officials repaying funds
The article notes a possible repayment issue as state accounting rules limit payments to salary or mileage, not extra compensation. It cites disallowed claims for county officials and explains fees must revert to the county treasury, with no political motive implied. It also covers local items on sports awards, school visits, Florida ties, and Indiana trucking fees.
