Following a closed session at the end of its regular meeting, the BOC voted 6-0 to approve a settlement in excess of $110,000 with Sophia “Tonie” Russell, the former manager of the county’s Geographic Information Services Department.

Remember, The GOB(Not GOP) party types are "Not Accountable to ANYONE" ...

Remember the what they have cost, the NEXT Time they go looking to Replace Lost "TAX DIGEST" to fund their JOB with YOUR MONEY

How much in excess? $10.00 or $700,000? Need to settle all the lawsuits and give the new incoming board a fresh start.

On a side note, not surprised about HoHe leaving -- never was qualified for the job. And Sims hold too many secrets!
