Fees Not Exorbitant if Law is Rigidly Enforced
Guthrie Oklahoma January 5 A Tulsa attorney argues that strict enforcement of existing statutes would curb county officers fees and prevent exorbitant charges. He notes district and county court clerks set their own schedules, sheriffs’ salaries cap at 3800 annually, and excess fees revert to counties. Some counties pay deputies or clerks, while others collect directly. critics urge a special legislative session to trim fees before the next regular session, despite constitutional salary protections and disputes over whether the prohibition on pay increases applies to officers created by law or by state constitution.
