Long standing rivalries between the Sheriff's Department and the Jefferson County administration underscores the lawsuit issue.
The Sheriff is elected and is not a direct report to the County Leg or its hired administrator. However, all the dollars used to run the department and the dollars used to defend and perhaps settle the suit are appropriated by the County government.
Now that the suit has garnered international coverage, counsel may be hired to preside over it, although the County does maintain its own in house counsel.
Given the publcity over women's issues this year and the issue of workplace harassment in general, it won't be long before some national media wants to cover it.
Of course, alleging something and proving it are two different things, so we will see what happens.

For sure they're going to bury the hatchet...they will join forces to bury the hatchet in Deputy Rice's back. Then it will be shires and fifedoms as usual.
I would encourage them to bury it in Rice's back. Fifty million dollars she wants to steal from the tax payers? For something a few people in the department are culpable for...herself being one of the few.
I do not even know how I ended up here, but I thought
