(The Center Square) - Audit findings showing former attorney general Leslie Rutledge paid staff more than what was appropriated by the Legislature is the result of differing legal opinions, Rutledge told The Center Square.
Arkansas Legislative Audit noted the excess payments during Rutledge's tenure for the second year in a row. She is now the state's lieutenant governor.
Rutledge said constitutional officers weren’t subject to the Uniform Classification and Compensation Act, which prohibits state officials from paying employees more than the Legislature authorizes.
