Each state needs to appoint an AUDITING committee, to report semi-annually as how the budget is spent. We're sure there were abusers during the Pandemic; because those $$$ disappeared, who is pocketing our tax dollars. DISHONEST!

[@Dman119]

Good luck with that.

[@nevaclaborn3107]

Most states follow federal guidelines and require a full audit every 2to 3 years. Also, on a county level, this should also be required and there should be an oversight board or individual for funds disbursement! Otherwise thieves, like Fannie, will do what she’s done. I’m curious, are all counties in Georgia ran the same way?
