Ind. Gov't. - Lake Station: Is attorney waste of taxpayer dollars?
"Is attorney waste of taxpayer dollars?" is the headline to this story today in the Munster (NW Indiana) Times, by Royal M. Hopper III. Some quotes:
The Lake Station City Council put a request to provide a lawyer for the clerk-treasurer on hold recently."I am accountable to the State Board of Accounts and there is a lot of money (coming through the clerk-treasurer's office) that must be put in the right places and taken out of the right places or you can get in serious trouble," said Lake Station Clerk-Treasurer Martha Kroledge about her request for an additional $12,000 to her budget for legal fees.
The measure was tabled after a vigorous debate. * * *
City Attorney Ray Szarmach said city ordinances clearly state that the clerk-treasurer shall have an attorney.
