A Task Force is needed to investigate the EDA and Warren County’s finances
Millions of dollars are presumed lost or stolen, possibly in assets or stashed in off-shore accounts. Do we, the taxpayers, know exactly what and how much is missing? We are the ones paying hundreds of thousands of dollars to Attorneys and an Accounting Firm, yet we have never gotten balanced budget sheets from the EDA nor Warren County government.
I have a request to the Warren County Board of Supervisors. I ask the board to please call the Virginia State Police, Department of Justice, or the Federal Bureau of Investigations and request a TASK FORCE come into Warren County and perform a real audit of EDA and Warren County’s finances. The government can and will do this. If there was ever a time for transparency, it is now.
We are currently throwing good money after bad. Stop the lawsuits, Town of Front Royal v. EDA, EDA v. numerous defendants, Warren County is paying the bill.
Get a task force here. Every document, every keystroke, emails, you name it, leaves a digital footprint. These attempts at covering up have been discovered and will come to light shortly.
Please join me in emailing and calling the Warren County Board of Supervisors and asking for a State or Federal TASK FORCE to do a thorough investigation into Warren County and the EDA’s financials.
This will save taxpayer money in the long run and help restore faith in our local government.
