On June 17, 2008, Charles E. Wilson, a Jefferson County resident, filed a class action lawsuit to recover, among other things, exorbitant brokerage fees that were paid to brokers and investment banks around the country by Jefferson County. Some of these fees were six times the normally accepted rate, which as alleged could total as much as $100 Million. Named in the suit are Jefferson County Commissioners, various local and national investment banks, and multiple brokers that did business with the Jefferson County. It is alleged that the brokerage fees, in addition to other costs and expenses, caused Jefferson County Residents' water and sewer costs to increase by over 300%.
