The county’s wasting cash on duplicate payrolls as commissioners blast the mess, with some calling it a potential crime and others baffled by how it slipped through the cracks.

Legal battles rage on, with oral arguments set for October 13th, and Meurer remains silent. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
