On Wednesday, K105 published an article detailing a recently conducted a study of the mileage reimbursements, plus salaries and benefits versus meeting attendance, for the six Grayson County Fiscal Court Magistrates.

In the article, the following paragraph described why a portion of the study was only able to be conducted on figures dating back to March 2017:

“Part of K105’s study was able to reach back to only March 2017, because, according to County Treasurer Angel Hayes, until March 2017, mileage submissions were managed by Grayson County Judge/Executive Secretary Chandra Glenn, and as a result, mileage reimbursement requests prior to March 2017 were unavailable.”

Through a miscommunication between Hayes and K105, the paragraph intimates that Glenn, for an unknown reason, did not have or would not provide Magistrates’ mileage reimbursement request forms.

In fact, though, while Glenn was in charge of “handling” mileage reimbursement requests at that time, no such requests were submitted to her by Magistrates in either January or February 2017; the only two months of 2017 where at least one reimbursement was not submitted.
