Governor Wallace to unveil audit on LEPA funds
Gov George Wallace will release a federal audit Thursday detailing alleged illegal LEPA disbursements totaling 283 493 since 1964. The report criticizes LEPA management under former Gov Albert Brewer and cites unauthorized use of funds for a police cadet college program and for preparations of the 1971 Alabama plan. The audit, reviewed by LEAA officials, calls for recovery of 283 493.
