Results of Special Knox County Audits Still Under Wraps

The Knox County Board received updates Wednesday night on both audits being conducted, but one of the updates didn't include the findings.


A rough draft for the yearly 2007 audit was distributed to board members, with several charts and graphs explaining where the county was spending its money.


County Board Chairman Allen Pickrel says he's pleased with the 2007 audit results and credited the department heads and other officials with doing a good job of managing the county's finances


The final draft of the regular audit is expected to be drawn up by the next board meeting after all board members have had an opportunity to look it over and make any changes, if necessary.


The special audit was mentioned as well, but only briefly.  Pickrel didn't have a lot to say.  "I know nothing about it.  It's in the hands of the state police and William Poncin, that's one and the same, and the FBI..." Pickrel explained.


Pickrel says he doesn't know if or when the results of the special audit of the state's attorney and Knox County Sheriff's offices will be released.
