New Ellenton finances scrutinized in money missing probe
Senior writer Carl Langle reports the D C Law Enforcement Division has taken possession of New Ellenton's financial records as part of an inquiry into missing funds. Solicitor Barbara Morgan confirms records were turned over to a SLED investigator and says the step is preliminary. Reports say audits show discrepancies and between 80 000 and 100 000 may be missing. A decade ago an embezzlement case tied to a state backed sewer project led to guilty pleas and prison for former Mayor Randy Shaw, prompting multiple lawsuits that were later settled or dismissed.
