Just over a month ago the Kentucky office of Public Accounts released a scathing audit of Prestonsburg Kentucky that highlighted several questionable transactions. According to Mayor Les Stapleton the city has put new controls in place to make sure there are fewer abuses, he uses the 911 services as an example *cut 1*. The goal of the city is to make the finances more transparent, so that flagrant abuses are kept to a minimum, and Stapleton believes the only way to do that is to keep everything out in the open…*cut 2*. The city has also restructured their oversight for project bidding and created a purchase order system.
