David James to be sworn in when District 6 votes certified

Exactly, and then the issue just ... died. Why? The auditor can't take any action, she can only bring it to the attention of the appropriate authorities. In reality, the AG could have appointed a special prosecutor to investigate. The Chief's issue wasn't Driscoll's issue - the Council signed off on it right at the beginning of the whole merger debacle, before they even knew what they were doing, and I expect they just forgot about it until it popped up in the audit - they didn't need to further authorize it after all. Many of the people weren't even still there. He got paid 170K illegally - that is the bottom line. And that just doesn't affect Louisville Metro, that's a state pension, it affects every person who draws from that system. He'll also get insurance, etc. Great deal for him.

But Driscoll should have also been investigated for violating the law.
