Milligan cuts off nose to spite face

The Saline County quorum court voted last week to keep the hiring freeze in the Clerk's office. New County Clerk Dennis Milligan went in like gangbusters and fired four employees before he started to work on January 1. Another employee retired. The office staff was reduced from 13 employees to eight.
Milligan intended to hire political friends with no experience to fill the void. He was set to give the new employees salaries comparable to the outgoing experienced staff. The quorum court thwarted his efforts.
Instead of giving him the requested four full-time and one part time employees he gets no new employees.
The finance committee was slated to meet tonight to discuss the staff shortages.
