Public audit fraud shocks South Dakota officials at Pierre
The Republican and Argus Leader react to alleged shortages in the auditor's office. A $15 discrepancy is blamed on possible bookkeeping error, but a $22,200 loss is deemed deliberate fraud. The piece calls for swift AG action to identify the guilty party, whether Hipple Mayhew Schwartz or Anders or all, and a thorough cleaning of the auditor's office to restore state finances.
