Williamson coroner laments harassment over salary dispute
Williamson County Coroner Paul Litton, elected in 1960, says he has faced harassment, threats of imprisonment, and pressure to resign amid a salary controversy. He objects to a change to a salary basis and cites inquests, mileage, and claims approvals as points of dispute with County Judge John Clayton Mundy who seeks to revert him to a fee basis. Litton says he has driven long distances to secure witnesses and has accrued debt from delayed claims, while denying any theft or misconduct. He notes other coroner practices and vows to follow legal advice.
