Trustees to Explain All in Monroe County Shortage Probe
Trustees face questions over an $860 shortage in the Monroe County road fund and missing town clerk records. State auditors plan to refer the matter to the county attorney for possible prosecution after two trustees offered a settlement and blamed J W Scienziski for delayed road fund payments. A separate report notes missing pool records and a $1,000,000 hydro plant plan at Des Moines river Dolliver park amid park opposition and a Webster County directive. Governor Hammill said actions will follow the wishes of county citizens.
