Last month, Nampa businessman Bob Henry filed a lawsuit seeking records about the contract, after his public records requests were unsuccessful. Bujak maintains the records are not covered by the public records law. The Third District Trial Court Administrator is seeking an out-of-district judge to preside over that case.
Bujak said that $400,000 of the approximately $600,000 contact has gone for salaries and rest is being held for overhead. Apparently, overhead is set to be paid in a lump sum at the end of the year.
My question is what's happening to the interest on that money? Of course, 3% on that amount doesn't add up to much, but it seems to me that it all belongs to Canyon County.
Judge Stricklen is hearing case this week per repository. Article today in Press Trib says he is now claiming he will keep at least $50,000 of the money. Don't see how the Attorney General can look the other way on this one.
ReplyDeleteWhat an about face. The prosecutor first said he was donating all of the money back to County each month, then he changed it to the end of the year, then he finally comes out and says he's not getting paid but he is keeping the savings, because apparently that's different. He's given too many different versions of the truth to make sense of it. I feel for Judge Stricklen!
