West Virginia town audits uncover missing funds and festival proceeds
Town officials face a state audit after the Tax Department seized records showing 17 dollars in the bank, checks misrouted for insufficient funds, and checks made out to cash endorsed by the former mayor and recorder. About 78 thousand dollars in B and O taxes are missing from a bridge project. A 1000 attendee country music festival raised funds for the town, with proceeds likely to cover bad checks from the prior administration. A second festival is planned for August 16 to benefit the town while weekly garbage service resumes and police chief returns to part time work.
