    After three years of legal wrangling over the funding her office gets from Pasco County, Clerk of Court and Comptroller Nikki Alvarez-Sowles has settled a lawsuit with the county.

    While Alvarez-Sowles was not successful in winning money to run a full office in a second courthouse, an appeals court did side with her argument that she deserved to be reimbursed for heading up the criminal justice tracking technology program she runs for the county.

    On Tuesday the County Commission was scheduled to meet behind closed doors to discuss a settlement but the meeting was canceled.
