Former Floyd County Attorney appeals to get job back
Former Floyd County Attorney Jesse Marzen has appealed to the Iowa Supreme Court to get his job back.
County supervisors declared Marzen's office vacant earlier this year after the high court suspended his law license. The court said he broke the rules when he had a sexual relationship with a client before he was elected in November 2006.
A district judge in October ruled the Board of Supervisors was within its rights to vacate the position.
The Globe Gazette says Marzen has now appealed to the Iowa Supreme Court. Marzen argued that there was no vacancy and that the board acted beyond its authority in replacing him.
Normand Klemesrud was appointed acting county attorney, and was elected to the job last month.
