JEFFERSONVILLE — Following the contentious firing and rehiring of Clark County Community Corrections Executive Director Steve Mason this summer, Clark County Circuit Court Judge Daniel Moore now intends to add a more businesslike atmosphere to the agency. During a Community Corrections Advisory Board meeting Thursday, Moore, who accepted the board’s presidency last month, updated its 11-year-old bylaws, which he said most staff members didn’t know existed.
