Macon County under audit

It was announced on Wednesday, Feb. 20 that State Auditor Tom Schweich has started an audit in Macon County. The state auditor routinely audits counties that do not elect a county auditor.

According to Macon County Clerk Shirley Sims, this is just a normal process that takes place in Macon every two to four years.

"It is a wonderful thing really," said Sims. "It keeps us up-to-date on what needs to be done. We welcome the audit."

The auditing process generally lasts for three months.
