Gaughan says the county Democratic Party’s selection process that recommended three candidate ignored state law and the judges should hold a new process. The judges will hold a hearing on that after hearing from the Democratic Party. The solicitor for Commissioner Chris Chermak, a Republican, says Gaughan's request to have the judges take over the process was filed illegally.
