Mr. Treasurer, whose $1,000,000 is it? The following FOIA request was made to Boone County today.

Below is the Management letter from the CPA firm which initiated my inquiry into the $1,000,000.   Item # 5 is on the second page.  As before click to enlarge.

To be fair—the Treasurer/Collector did answer orally some of these questions some weeks ago.   He indicated that the amount is  possibly in the $100,000’s but not a $1,000,000 and that the amount maybe related to disputed taxes in previous years.  I made this FOIA request  based upon the size of this account and the question as to if the County, other taxing bodies, or the State actually deserves the money.  I think we all ought to wonder where our elected officials and appointed county managers are.  Why have they not asked questions?
