Still Investigation Into King Grand Jury Charge Continues
Isaac King remains on the grand jury and Prosecutor Ruckelshaus is pursuing the charge that King, a park board member, has a financial interest in city contracts. He plans to gather facts by interviewing witnesses and present a written statement to Judge Alford. King contends he is not a city employee under the charter, which prohibits any city officer or employee from financial interest in city contracts. The charter defines employee as any officer clerk deputy or employee and declares such contracts void with penalties up to 1000 dollars and possible imprisonment. Webster’s defines an employee as one employed and used as a servant or representative.
