Bourbon County Clerk sues county commission
BOURBON CO., Kan. — The newly elected Bourbon County Clerk sued the Bourbon County Commissioners and won, at least for now.
Susan Walker, who has been employed with Bourbon County since 2021 as the finance director, was a contract employee with a salary of $95,000 per year. She sued the commissioners in February for breach of contract and violation of the Kansas wage payment act.
According to court records, last year, commissioners told Walker her position was being eliminated.
In her petition, Walker says the commissioners told her she should run for elected office, due to the elimination of her position, and that her salary would 'follow' her. Walker did run for office and was elected county clerk, and when she didn't receive the 95k salary, she sued.

The commissioners didn't answer the lawsuit, and Walker was awarded a default judgment of just over $199,000.
Today, the commissioners filed a motion to set aside the judgment, claiming the lawsuit was not properly served to the appropriate person or persons. Walker has not yet received the money, and a next court date has not yet been set.
