Commissioners need to offer explanations
Commissioners need to offer explanations
Dear Editor,It’s been a week since the special called meeting of the Hays County Commissioners Court. Since the special called meeting, a county employee of the Tax Assessor’s Collectors Office was arrested and booked on serious charges. Why have the commissioner’s been quiet on this issue? Shouldn’t there be discussions taking place on how the fraudulent activities occurred or a special audit being conducted on the Tax Assessor’s Collectors Office? If audits are done on county departments, why was the activity not caught during an annual audit? I would expect an auditor to recommend safeguards to avoid such activity. 06/11/2023 12:00 AM
