HB16-county manager bill passes the House

HB16, the Jefferson County Accountability Act, by Rep. DeMarco and others passed the House with a vote of 25 to 1 this morning. HB16 creates the office of a comptroller in Jefferson County. This bill according to the sponsor will provide accountability and transparency in the county commission.

Representative Mary Moore was the only member to vote against the bill. Moore does not agree with DeMarco voting against the occupational tax, HB13, and then coming forth with a bill that controls what will happen with it.

Also passing the house was HB3 relating to unemployment compensation.
