Topeka ? Shawnee County commissioners have reluctantly allowed the sheriff’s office to pay for nearly $630 worth of inspirational posters. By they also suggested they might not do so again.

The sheriff’s legal adviser told the commission this week the department’s credit services had been suspended because of an unpaid bill to the Florida company that sold the posters.

Sheriff Dick Barta said he considers the four posters appropriate for a redecorating project intended to boost morale at the county emergency communications center in Topeka.

The Topeka Capital-Journal reported that one of the posters cost $200, and the other three about $140 each.

Two of the commissioners approved paying the bill. The third said the county shouldn’t be paying for the posters because of financial difficulties.
