The State Attorney General's office says that Leelanau County treasurer Vicki Kilway did not break the law when she accepted work on the side from a company her office had contracted to handle county title research.

Kilway netted about $1800 for 6 or 7 hours work on behalf of Title Check LLC of Kalamazoo. The contract Kilway granted to Title Check was worth about $30,000. According to this Record-Eagle article , County Prosecutor Joe Hubbell said that there is no law specifically prohibiting Kilway's arrangement, and that it is not an unusual one among county treasurers.

Apparently the matter was first brought to the attention of the sheriff's office by Deputy Leelanau County Treasurer Chris Mikowski.
