COMMISSIONERS DROP FACEBOOK PAGE WITH LAWSUIT PENDING
(Richmond, IN)--Recently, Wayne County’s chief deputy coroner filed a civil complaint against Wayne County Commissioners after they allegedly blocked him from accessing and commenting on their public Facebook page. That lawsuit is now in federal court. Wednesday, commissioners decided to take down their Facebook page entirely based on the recommendation of county attorney Ron Cross. "I understand the purpose for the commissioners having originally created their Facebook page, but I think that purpose can still be accomplished without having to rely on a social media platform for that," Cross said. The county’s insurance will fund the defense and pay any damages after the county pays a $15,000 deductible.
