Stoddard Denies Audit Affects Olds Reputation
Stoddard says his request for an audit of the county treasurer’s office was to verify accounts, not to cast doubt on Ray Olds. Olds and supporters call the move political, noting prior state audits found books in order and money accounted for through Nov 1916. Olds claims lack of officer support caused office confusion and delays in tax collection.
