KENTLAND — Even virtual meetings can get heated, and that is exactly what happened when a request to pay overtime was questioned at the Town of Kentland's virtual meeting on May 13.
Kentland Town Council President Mike Rowe asked if a salary amendment needed to be made to pay four employees overtime ranging from $6.72 to $354.73.
"A couple of weeks ago we made the decision to send our workers home, but there was no communication about overtime," said Rowe. "They were sent home but they were still on call, I didn't know at that time that it would interfere with them getting overtime."

The top prosecutor in Anne Arundel County, Maryland, is asking the county council to allocate an additional $60,000 to help cover certain costs associated with the trial of Jarrod Ramos.
Since then, an evaluation by a state psychiatrist had determined Ramos was sane during the attacks in June of 2018. However, an expert hired by the defense team has reached a different conclusion.
Separately, the state’s attorney’s office has used its own expert, Dr. Gregory Saathoff, a forensic psychiatrist kept on retainer by the FBI, to help them rebut the defense’s case.
