State auditor begins investigation into nearly $200,000 in missing funds in Goodman


Goodman Police Chief Mike Akins is asking the Missouri Highway Patrol and the Missouri State Auditor's office to investigate nearly $200,000 in missing city money.

"That kind of money doesn't just disappear, and with nobody wanting to speak out about it and try to find it, to me it seems as though it's trying to be covered," Akins said, according to an account in the McDonald County Press.








The Goodman Board of Aldermen delayed passing next year's budget until more information is available about the missing funds.

The state auditor's investigation has reportedly already begun.

Under a new law passed by the Missouri State Legislature, if a state audit is launched following an investigation into improper governmental activity, the cost of the audit is paid by the auditors's office.

    Is the money really missing? Maybe it accidentally was deposited in the wrong account.

    Did it get stuck between the sofa cushions with the stale popcorn and belly button lint?

      Goodman only has 1 account, which would be fine but they don't know how much goes to each account.

      No 351, you know your daily inhalation of toxic Faux News has been the biggest propaganda machine promoting your orange "president" and his attempt at buying votes by offering $2000. to newborns. Talk about a bogus use of taxpayer money. The fumes of rightwingnut intoxication obviously prevent you from coming up with anything more intelligent than cut and pasting the PPPP and their repeated use of irrelevant information.

      The PPPP (10:49AM) is probably an automated bot posting this crap. No human needed, not even a magat.
