State Auditor Nicole Galloway today released a statement on the dismissal of a lawsuit by the Clay County Commission that sought to prevent a citizen-requested audit of the county. The court's order unequivocally confirms the Auditor's legal authority to conduct performance audits.
"This is a major victory for Clay County taxpayers. This lawsuit represented an unprecedented level of obstruction. With its dismissal, the Clay County Commission should fully cooperate with the audit that citizens demanded. My office is committed to getting the answers Clay County residents deserve and will move forward with audit work."
