McDowell Officials Question Federal Audit Request
McDowell County Board of Education officials say they know nothing of a federal audit request by former state senator Lacy Wright Jr. to examine federal funds this district receives. They note annual Title I funding around 1.7 million with a recent cut of about 100,000 and say internal and state audits already monitor funds. A Philadelphia regional inspector general received Wright s request, but local officials have had no direct communication and expect a timing gap before any federal review.
