Park-ing violation?

August 7th, 2009, 1:54 pm by

County Commissioner Wayne Williams recently came clean about his son landing a job with El Paso County. He said it’s a temporary summer position that pays less than $10 an hour and that he had nothing to do with the hiring process. Still, despite the hire not violating the county’s nepotism policy (the policy bars supervisors from hiring family members), Williams vowed to not vote on any matters that pertain to the Parks Department budget while his son is employed there. That self-imposed restriction presumably will go away when his son no longer works for the county, which will be soon when school resumes.
