Southeast Missouri County Audit Reveals Common Rural Issue

There is a certain kind of sting that comes when you realize the government took more of your hard-earned money than they were supposed to. For property owners in Mississippi County, that sting is very real, as a state audit just uncovered $172 thousand in over-taxing. It’s a situation that shakes your trust in the system, but State Auditor Scott Fitzpatrick says this isn’t just a one-off mistake; it’s a warning sign for rural counties across Missouri. He joins Sue Danielson to discuss how he plans to fix the books and make sure your tax dollars are treated with the respect they deserve.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
