Magistrate makes application for golden parachute

It’s a good job if you can get it.

Magistrate

Britton was hired sometime in 2007. The compensation sought appears to date back some 4 years. That is quite a nest egg.

We ran across this document as a result of a public information act request. Commissioners will vote today on whether or not to grant the golden parachute to the magistrate.

It is interesting that no documentation was included to indicate how much tax dollars are involved. The item is buried in the consent agenda which is normally approved with one vote approving several items. 

The departure of the magistrate is another issue. There was documentation from the District Attorney’s office indicating the employment of said magistrate was in violation of the Texas Constitution.

Will the Commissioner’s approve yet another sweet deal? Court begins at 9:00 a.m.
