Special Audit Sought Into Attorney General Car Use In Topeka Crash
The Senate Ways and Means Committee in Topeka backed a special audit into alleged misuse of state vehicles by Attorney General Curt Schneider after a July 5 Topeka crash involving a leased Mercedes. The panel also urged the office to drop seven leased Mercurys and trim the budget by 63 542 dollars, shifting to the state motor pool for savings. The audit order could involve subpoenas and may be lengthy, with the legislative post auditor handling the review.
