Question of the Day
Issue: County makes second major payoff in month: Former Kootenai Sheriff's Department captain gets $267,400 settlement/Erica Curless, SR.
DFO: Fuhgeddabout trying to win the lottery. I want a county job that I can leave under and cloud -- and pull down at least $70,000 (Marina Kalani, pictured, for a year's work in the drug court) and mebbe as much as a quarter mil (former sheriff's captain Sam Grubbs). Which higher-up goofed up that the insurance company deemed it wiser to provide hush money than risk a nasty court battle? Heads should roll.
Question: What's your reaction to the latest Kootenai County settlement with a former employee?
Deputy Prosecutor Erica Ellingson Grubbs has posted an answer in this comment section to many of your questions re: her (lack of) involvement in the settlement and the ICRMP insurance situation. And you can find a good argument from Rikki Copen (dunno if that's a real name or not) why this matter was handled properly by county commissioners here.
