A third outside law firm is being hired in connection to allegations against Mayor Kaohly Her. This decision comes as the city determines whether taxpayers will cover the mayor's legal costs. Previously, a private firm was hired to investigate a human resources complaint filed by Police Chief Axel Henry against the mayor. The results of this investigation were recently made public, although some information was redacted.

The city has also hired a private law firm to defend the mayor. The latest law firm hire was approved by City Council members and will help decide whether the city is responsible for the mayor's legal expenses. Further details are available from the source.
