Grafton vote inquiry should be re opened
Lonnie Carroll acting chief of police says the investigation into a December council vote awarding an insurance contract to Mole Agency should be discontinued due to lack of evidence. The probe focused on whether Marcia Frabotta received compensation and if her husband council member Robert Frabotta had an unlawful interest. An external Ethics Commission inquiry is urged to restore public trust.
