States Attorney Declares County Legal Counsel Action Illegal
State's Attorney Roy Adair told The Whig after Thursday's Board of Supervisors meeting that employing legal counsel by the Board is illegal and that paying 1800 dollars annually for special counsel is improper. He said taxes fund such services and urged lawful expenditure, noting the county attorney office was ruled legal by the appellate court. He denied requesting the board to pay for an assistant and stated no such appointment exists without board action.
