Sandra Thomas is a candidate for State Auditor in Missouri. Much of the media is overlooking the shoddy way in which she does her work. That needs to change.

Lots of Sandra Media

Sandra is getting a lot of pretty bad press right now for her $195,000 accounting mistakes. Here is one of my favorites (with a link to the article and highlights)...

Platte County Landmark -- "Thomas' opponent offers opinions on special audit "
http://www.plattecountylandmark.com/Article10370.htm

1. “Accounting issues are the responsibility of the auditor. She (Thomas) needs to take responsibility for the accounting of Platte County. If this had happened in my county, it would be all my fault. I would take the blame,” Montee said.
2. As an example, Montee referred to a time when the Buchanan County books were off by 9 cents. Montee and her staff continued to trace the difference until they reconciled the 9 cents, Montee said.
3. Vic Hurlbert, Clay County auditor and a fellow CPA, analyzed Groszek’s special report from last Thursday and believes, like Montee, that lack of communication between Platte County officeholders was a main cause for Platte County’s recent $195,000 accounting fiasco.
