Our latest news feature story:
Champaign County Moves to One Administrator
For 11 years, Champaign County government has had two administrators -- Deb Busey to look after staffing and finance and Denny Inman to take care of procurement and facilities. But that will change October 1st. The Champaign County Board has voted to switch to a single-administrator system, and to put Busey in the job. After the vote, Busey talked with AM 580’s Jim Meadows about the challenges ahead and about the controversial clause in her contract that bars county board members from publicly criticizing her job performance. But first, Busey talked about the prospect of becoming the county’s sole administrator after sharing duties with Denny Inman for over a decade.
