Leelanau County Treasurer Vicki Kilway is being investigated by the county prosecutor concerning her employment by a title company to whom she gave a county contract.

According to this Record-Eagle story, Kilway gave a contract worth about $30,000 to Title Check, LLC of Kalamazoo to do county title research. Title Check subsequently hired Kilway to do title work for the company.

Title Check general manager Marty Spaulding said Kilway's work consisted of 30 to 40 "10-minute jobs." Kilway says that she was paid $1800 after taxes for the work.

Taking Spaulding's upper estimate of time spent, Kilway worked about 400 minutes, which is about 6 and one half hours. That works out to somewhere between $250 and $300 an hour. Nice work, if you can get it!
