A Freedom of Information lawsuit that Jefferson County Quorum Court members and the county judge lost will cost the county almost $14,000, according to a news release from the plaintiff.
A lawsuit filed against County Judge Gerald Robinson and most of the justices of the peace alleging they failed to comply with a Freedom of Information request for documents was won by the plaintiff, Kimberly Dale, after special Judge Bentley E. Story ruled in her favor.
When it came to the Public Safety committee meeting during the Quorum Court committee meeting Tuesday evening, several justices of the peace had questions about an appropriation ordinance to reduce the salary of a housekeeper at the Juvenile Justice Center.
