Audit Says: Sullivan County Just “Fair” Handling Taxpayers’ Money

An audit of Sullivan county government is concluded. State Auditor Nicole Galloway gives the county a grade of “fair”. That’s a step up from the last audit of Sullivan county which was rated as “poor” back in 2017. The auditor says improvement is still needed in several county offices. For example, keeping track of funds in the prosecutor’s office. The report says the prosecutor has also been slow sending out restitution payments to crime victims. Other deficiencies in county spending were also found that the auditor says needs to be corrected
