The squabble over the Hamilton County Attorney position continued this week, with both County Mayor Weston Wamp and commissioners standing by their positions, the Chattanoogan reports. Wamp says that County Attorney Rheubin Taylor is no longer on the county payroll and his county email is blocked, while commissioners passed a series of resolutions in support of the embattled attorney and hired outside counsel. "The dizzying actions taken by the County Commission were not within what state law allows,” Wamp said, adding that he would not deal with Taylor or with the three remaining attorneys in the office. He said he plans to hire his own attorney.
