The city of Joplin is not yet finished with former City Manager Mark Rohr or with Osage Beach lawyer Tom Loraine, whose investigation led to Rohr's dismissal.
State Auditor Thomas Schweich did not go into detail, but told KZRG's Morning Newswatch that the Loraine Investigation, which was supposed to cost $45,000 and ended up at nearly double that amount, would be looked into by his auditing team.
"This is a full performance audit," Schweich said, noting that auditors are not just looking for theft of public funds, as some think, but also whether proper procedures are followed and whether taxpayer money is being wasted.
Schweich said the audit for the City of Joplin will begin Tuesday, September 2, when the team is introduced and offers information during a Joplin City Council meeting.
