Mifflintown – During a brief meeting Tuesday the Juniata County commissioners ratified the receipt of the Juniata County Rights and Services Act (RASA) and Victims of Juvenile Offenders (VOJO) Services Grant application sub-grant in the amount of $79,144.00 as submitted by Sylvia Middaugh, Victim Witness Program Coordinator.
The funds provided by the RASA and VOJO program are to support the carrying out of responsibilities assigned to Prosecution and Juvenile Probation under the Crime Victims Act (Act 85 of 2002), the Juvenile Act and Pennsylvania’s Rules of Juvenile Court Procedure.

Bucks County saved $400,000 in legal fees to outside law firms last year, county Solicitor Joe Khan reported to the county commissioners last week.
Appointed in January 2020, Khan said that he was given a directive by the newly elected, Democrat-controlled commissioner board to bring down the legal fees that the county was paying to outside law firms.
When he was hired as solicitor last year from his work as a Philadelphia and federal prosecutor, the choice seemed puzzling. Weren t there enough lawyers in Bucks from which the newly installed Democrats could choose? But Khan, an adjunct professor at Penn Law, has brought legal skills he himself learned from a young law professor who would go on to do some serious service for the country.
