The mess began when Corley was temporarily removed in December 2025, prompting County Judge Parrish to appoint Meurer as interim commissioner. But Corley didn’t back down—he took the judge’s decision to court, and a judge ultimately sided with him, restoring his position. Meanwhile, the county kept paying both salaries, leaving taxpayers footing the bill while Meurer, caught in the middle, wasn’t even asked to take the role. Corley says he doesn’t blame Meurer, who was just following orders. This legal tug-of-war exposes how messy local government can get—and how costly it is when elected positions are legally contested.
