Childers blinks

   October 6, 2021

Last month, Escambia County Clerk Pam Childers told the Board of County Commissioners that she would no longer pay for the 401(a) retirement plan because she felt it was “outside of the law.”

She gave them until the end of September to change the program.

Sources have shared the Childers didn’t follow through with her ultimatum and paid the invoice.

It would appear the clerk is saying the program is legal, which leaves the only issue being whether she has the power to reduce the payments to the vendor without the commissioners’ approval.

Stay tuned.
