Gunter says the 1970 acts give discretionary pay to the board of supervisors for services by the commonwealth attorney. He notes the AG reply supports the attorney performing the requested services, but compensation is a matter between the board and the county or commonwealth attorney. He questions if Frederick County owes him for services in the annexation suit.
