Douglas County to consider funding for new aide in DA office
Douglas County will hear a plan from District Attorney Jim Flory to fund an entry level assistant district attorney position. Flory seeks about 4 000 from the county for benefits, plus 10 000 from the city, funded by drug case proceeds, to relieve workload after Rick Trapp moved to the Drug Unit. The commission meets Monday at the Courthouse to vote and hear weather week proclamations and other items. Governor Hayden signed a bill providing 1 million dollars for the Kansas Parent Education Program to aid parents of preschoolers up to age three.
