Judge proposes new Jackson County public defender plan
Judge Schwartz unveils a revised structure for the public defender office in Jackson County. The plan adds a part time salaried public defender at 80 percent benefits plus a $60k assistant and a $40k attorney, with two contracted part time firms handling misdemeanors, juveniles and felonies. Paralegal and secretary positions are included. The plan aims to cut outside attorney costs while maintaining indigent defense, with county budget timelines set for approval.
