DescriptionThe Tippecanoe County Council this morning voted unanimously to comply with a mandate from Judge Don Johnson regarding the release of funds to pay his staff for overtime and part-time hours.

But at the same time, the council unanimously voted to send the three-term judge of Tippecanoe Superior Court 1 a 2 1/2-page letter outlining concerns that have simmered throughout the year about his staff's "incredible" reliance on overtime.

The council's review of county auditor's records of overtime claims by Johnson's court "raised substantial concerns as to the legitimacy and reasonableness of the Court's request for additional overtime appropriations in light of the incredible number of overtime hours claimed by one employee."
