Platte County outsources elected official’s duties

August 3, 2006 |

Platte County recently discovered a big discrepency in their financial accounts, but instead of turning to their elected auditor the County Commission has hired outside auditors to find the missing money. Why can’t the county rely on the person elected to audit its books? Because she’s busy campaigning for the State Auditor job and has been mostly AWOL since March.

    Well, yes, but see, that’s OK, because Sandra Thomas, CPA expects you to vote for her because she’s a Republican, and those dirty democrats are going to use petty little things like “qualifications” and “experience” as “wedge issues”. At least according to her website:

    * The likely Democrat Auditor Candidate is Susan Montee who is a CPA who is serving as the Buchanan County Auditor from St. Joseph
    * This Democrat will use her qualifications and experience as a Wedge Issue
    * Republicans can stop this by Nominating Sandra Thomas, CPA and Platte County Auditor as their candidate on August 8.

    That is just hideous! That auditor ought to be fired for not doing her job.

    I dont care if she is running for state auditor.

    I know the Landmark and Plunkett want to blame anyone but a Republican, but Thomas was needed at her Platte County job, and the county needed her to be professsional in the role, not a political hack.

    CPA or not, she doesn’t care to focus on her present job while seeking another. Surely that isn’t what the state needs as an auditor.

    “I know the Landmark and Plunkett want to blame anyone but a Republican, but Thomas was needed at her Platte County job, and the county needed her to be professsional in the role, not a political hack.”

    Yep. The Landmark has always been openly biased about their political leanings but even they will have a difficult time covering this big cat turd up. I’m sure that even many dedicated GOP voters will have a hard time ignoring this one come election time.
