New Saline County circuit clerk Dennis Milligan fired five members of the clerk’s office before he was sworn in Saturday. Due to a hiring freeze he cannot replace the five employees without Quorum Court approval.
Today is the first day of the new year the office is open and it will open with a skeletal staff. Milligan fired Rhonda Depriest, Kim Wright, Amy Daniel and Dana Mattingly. His fifth fire, Shirley Edison had already planned to retire.
The five women had a combined 52-plus years of experience. Depriest had worked in the clerk’s office for 19-plus years.
The first meeting of the new Saline County Quorum Court is set for tonight. It is slated to be an organizational meeting but will now have to rush to fix the situation in the clerk’s office.
Milligan intends to hire people with no experience working in a county clerk’s office but are experienced in politics.
