Judge Clapp Presses County On Court Complex Delay
Circuit Court Judge Robert E. Clapp Jr urges the county to approve a new court and county offices complex, saying delays raise costs and impair justice. He clashes with Commissioner Donald L. Lewis over whether the project is a joint state county venture and the need for land, design, and cost details. The court seeks a budget of $20,690 for the coming year, down from $21,230.
