    State auditor highlights 'disturbing uptick' in alleged fraud
    2025/06/03
    State Auditor Mike Foley has issued audit letters to eight local government units in the past six weeks highlighting alleged financial malpractice. The offenses include a Nemaha County commissioner using a county gas pump to fill his personal vehicle, a Custer County employee who recorded work hours while at her children’s school events and Pleasanton village employees who used their 11% rebates from village expenses at Menards for personal purchases. Foley says he didn’t remember there being so many cases during his previous term as auditor between 2007 and 2015.

    A proposal banning certain forms of hemp and so-called synthetic cannabis was passed over Friday before a vote could be taken. The bill’s sponsor, Sen.
