Chairman Chip Baker, Mike Chauncey, Lee Helton, and Gene-o Shipley voted against the measure. The commission, however, did decide to continue paying John Konvalinka, the commission’s attorney in the case, as well as former Judge Neil Thomas, who is representing County Attorney Taylor, with a unanimous vote.
Those who voted to not continue to pay the Wamp attorney stated they did not want to spend any more money on the legal issues.
Mr. Konvalinka had previously been paid $10,000. Judge Thomas says the comprehensive charges, dating back to October, are $32,600. Barret Albritton, the attorney for Mayor Wamp, was paid $24,500.
