County Attorney's Office Loses $1,500 Road Share
The Cameron County Attorney and Asst. District Attorney came under fire as a condemnation case for U S Route 83 in Precinct 4 increased by $5,000 without state notification. Judge Lerma postponed and pushed for an agreed judgment of $9,470, costing the county and leaving the state unprepared to cover its portion. County officials called for steps to prevent a recurrence.
