WABASHA, Minn. — Familiar faces in the dispute over the county attorney’s salary repeated their position in court before Wabasha County Judge Christopher Neisen. The county attorney, Matt Stinson of Lake City, said the County Board wrongfully cut his salary in the middle of his elected term. The cut: From $130,000 to $110,000, although the Board later changed its mind and made it $119,000. Several commissioners testified that they were dissatisfied with Stinson’s job performance and that the county staff had complained about a bad attitude.
