Burlington Times-News reports:
County Attorney Clyde Albright is engaging in “untenable demands and specious attacks” regarding a federal investigation into alleged racial profiling at the sheriff’s office, and Commissioner Chairwoman Linda Massey misrepresented a phone call she placed to a Justice Department attorney about the probe, federal officials say in letters sent to both this month.
Albright wants to know why county commissioners are involved in this investigation in the first place, and he’s telling the feds they’re not getting personnel records protected by state law.
