County Challenges State Audit Order | Texas News

Doña Ana County is fighting back against New Mexico’s state finance department, arguing that a recent special audit doesn’t justify forcing them to bring in a fiscal agent — claiming the state is misapplying outdated rules meant for annual audits. County officials, led by Commissioner Manuel Sanchez, say the audit, while highlighting areas for improvement, didn’t reveal systemic flaws and that they weren’t given a fair chance to respond. They’re pushing back on the state’s tone and are now waiting for a response — setting the stage for a heated legal and bureaucratic showdown over how local governments should be held accountable.
