Spoils system

Not really much to do with contracts — except maybe for a wrongful discharge claim — but in St. Joseph, Missouri, the deputy court clerk who defeated her boss in Tuesday’s election to become Buchanan County clerk has been fired.  Apparently for starting to take her current boss’s name off of the county letterheads. 

The new county clerk says she’s changed her original plan of keeping her former boss on the payroll in a subordinate position.
