Important Corporation Decision Aired In Grier Case
County Commissioners Mercer Wier and Boyle filed an answer to Controller Grier’s mandamus petition seeking warrants for counsel fees in the MacGunnegle Deputy Coroner and Gilfillan cases. They admit fees in the Salary Board matter but argue the county solicitor’s conflict prevented joint action. They deny liability for Robb & Fitzsimmons fees in Berry and McK Grieray cases, claim no authority to contract debts, and say savings allegations are not at issue.
