County overpaid Orphans Court judges in Frederick County
Frederick County officials claim three Orphans Court judges were overpaid by 4200 over two years while two judges acknowledge the discrepancy. Judge Sairiey Happ refuses to confirm an overpayment or return funds. State law fixed at 2500 annually, but 3200 payments were made. Morningstar notes proposed raises and possible reimbursements, with county Attorney Speelman citing authority to dock future pay. The issue prompted notices to judges and calls for resolution, with continued debate over legality and repayment.
