You can not expect a corrupt politician/deviant to do the right thing.

Well, its about time that the State Auditor finally stepped up to the plate. If a bank teller mis-uses bank funds, then they are proseuted. Recently there was an article in the paper that an employee of a Hospital mis-used funds and she was prosecuted. Why should Greg Davis be treated any differently? If the State Auditor reviewed the receipts, and determined that some of them were fraudelant, then he had a legal and moral obligation to act. I just don't understand why he gave Greg Davis this much time to repay the $70,000. We hold our elected officials to a high standard......it is too bad there there is always a rotten apple in the barrel. I cannot wait for election day!
