LAMR,
Do you ever notice that when a legal question comes up about the Sheriff, County Government, or any Elected Official, this paper doesn't do any further investigation about the legality of the situation???
I don't believe it's legal to operate a private company out of a public building under any circumstance. Maybe this Paper should inquire with the Missouri Attorney Generals Office and ask them about the legality??
So is Mr. Simmerman an employee of the county or is Creative Management Consultants a private business being operated out of a tax payer funded facility?
