Jackson County Legislature sues County Executive Frank White

The battle between the Jackson County Legislature and the county executive kicked up a notch Tuesday. The legislature filed a lawsuit against County Executive Frank White late Tuesday. According to a news release, the legislature requested the 16th Circuit Court of Jackson County to enforce an ordinance which places day-to-day supervision of COMBAT under the Prosecuting Attorney's Office, saying it's an order White has failed to comply with since the legislature overrode his veto on Dec. 28, 2017.
