Two Magistrates Criticize Rutherford
Tuesday at the regular Pike County Fiscal Court meeting tempers flared as Magistrates Chris Harris and Hillman Dotson criticized Judge Executive Wayne Rutherford for his participation in a video produced by Pikeville College which detailed relief efforts and the role of the East Kentucky Expo Center. The DVD was shown at the meeting, which prompted Harris and Dotson to suggest that Rutherford was not attending to the business of flood recovery, but, instead, used his time to produce a movie. Rutherford defended himself by pointing out that the video allowed those who could not personally view the activity at the Expo Center to still see what was happening at that crucial distribution location.
