Adair Fiscal Court, 14 Jul 2015: Lawyer bill tabled A Landmark Issue: Would payment now 'settle the matter'? Or open up a whole new can of worms? Judge Stephens says that the Adair Board of Election's appeal of a Circuit Judge's ruling is the first time ever that a Board of Election has ever filed such an appeal; that in all other cases, the candidate or candidates with an interest in the outcome filed, and paid for, such appeals. Adair County Judge Jennifer Hutchison-Corbin argued that the appeal was a part of the election itself and that the county is bound by statute to pay all election bills, including the $5,125 statement received from Attorney James Howard of Edmonton, KY, who filed the Board's appeal. Judge Stephens said that the appeal was not, in fact a part of the election, but a post election matter in which the county had no interest. Click on headline for more on this subject addressed in the meeting By Ed Waggener (c) ColumbiaMagazine.com The Adair Fiscal Court voted, 5-4 with CJE Mike Stephens, voting to tie and then to break the tie, to table a request by the Adair County Board of Elections to pay a bill for $5,125 incurred by the Board of Elections to have Edmonton Attorney James I. Howard file an appeal to Judge Judy Vance's ruling that the Tuesday, November 4, 2015 Mayoral Election for the City of Columbia would have to be subject to a new vote because of numerous irregularities. Judge Stephens joined Magistrates Daryl Flatt(2), Sammy Baker (3) and Harold Burton (1) to tie the vote. Magistrates Perry Reeder (4), Billy Dean Coffey (5) Greg Caldwell (6), Terry Flatt (7), voted to pay the attorney bill. The latter each voiced the opinion that this would get the matter behind them, but Judge Stephens argued that, should there be continued bills, the payment now, would bound the court for future payments of bills not specifically authorized by Fiscal Court, and that until the court knows the Board of Elections intentions, it could be an open drain on the county, if the matter were to be appealed all the way to the United States Supreme Court Article continues... click title or click here to read whole article. 2015-07-15 07:26:21 | Comments | Printable version
