Return to Overspending Does Not Make Sense

Overspending of Sheriff Cornholio gReed on 2007 budget does not make Sense!

12/01/2007

After some careful consideration, the overspending of Sheriff gReed in the 2007 budget does not make sense.  Spending occurs only when a purchase order is issued and approved, and the checks approved for disbursement by the Red River County Commissioners Court after each Commissioner looks at the disbursements and purchase orders and approves the expenditure.  Those expenditures are also looked at by the County Auditor, Shirley Anderson who then monitors spending and notifies officials that they are not staying within their allotted funds.

So this over spending discovery of Sheriff Cornhuillio gReed by the Commissioners Court in the 11th hour does not make sense, unless all of them knew about the expenditures and approved them, thus all of them would have known that he was overspending his budget.

This is either Gross Mismanagement of Sheriff gReed or a combination of it by the Commissioners Court, and the County Auditor.  I know for a fact that the County Auditor Shirley Anderson is not incompetent because she monitors the accounts closely and watches expenditures with the eye of a hawk.  So what has transpired???   Could this be another conspiracy to defraud the taxpayers of Red River County on the part of the elected officials, or are they just grossly incompetent or possibly both.  So, lets take a straw poll and see what the people reading the site think.  We will give you a posting of the results on a daily basis.  The voting will run from now, until midnight next Sunday evening.  12/09/2007
