Raub questions treasurers' high returns in Marion County
City Councilman Edward B. Raub charges Marion County ex-officio treasurers earn far more than President Coolidge, citing Barrett Law funds and delinquent tax fees. He notes $195,000 in total returns, with $60,000 interest, while Ramsey defends legal entitlements. Raub says no restraining order blocks treasurers from keeping interest to cover deficits.
