Perry County board approves public defender office and audit reforms
Perry County's 2005 fiscal year audit highlighted internal control gaps and the need for stronger segregation of duties. The board approved creating a county public defender office to be funded by state reimbursements, with Tom Mansfield to continue as defender at a $70,000 salary and state support covering two thirds of benefits. The move aims to speed justice, cut prisoner housing costs, and improve fiscal oversight.
