Hall has made multiple headlines in recent months, following an investigation into whether or not the commissioner had inappropriate relations with a member of her staff. The allegations were discussed in public commission meetings in September.

After being found liable in January for firing her chief of staff when he refused to have an exclusive relationship with her, the county commission had to put up posters giving public notice about her infraction.

The next month, Hall’s fellow commissioners voted to reduce her office’s budget, in part to pay a settlement to the staff member who was fired.

In April, the posters were removed and police began an investigation .
