Durham County Commissioner Joe Bowser reversed course this week and said he recalled making job candidate recommendations to at least three county supervisors

Last week, Bowser denied making such recommendations, beyond introducing a candidate to former Department of Social Services Director Gerri Robinson. 

Bowser's denial came after the county’s internal auditor, Richard Edwards, said two supervisors indicated Bowser recommended candidates for open job positions in their respective departments.
