Another Clerk Criticism Letter

By Chris Taylor

Paducah, KY – Two McCracken County Clerk's Office employees say little has changed by way of management in the office since a former employee complained about policies and procedures five months ago. The Paducah Sun reports employees Leslie Hannan and Dionna Wurth wrote a letter to Judge-Executive Van Newberry and other officials that County Clerk Jeff Jerrell intimidates them for supporting Deputy Clerk Becky Powell. Powell wrote a letter last May alleging mismanagement and that Jerrell worked in the office less than 20 hours a week. Jerrell, who's running against write-in candidates Becky Bowers and Mark Kidd says the latest allegations are politically motivated.
