Summary
A new state audit has exposed nearly a billion dollars in accounting errors at Lancaster County’s Treasurer’s Office, calling it “gross mishandling” of tax funds — though no money was actually stolen. The treasurer takes full blame, noting three million dollars in corrected payments and assuring taxpayers their core tax distribution function remains intact. The audit also uncovered misdirected property tax credits and a $200K shortfall to the Lincoln Airport Authority, with more scrutiny planned for next year. Meanwhile, the County Clerk’s office faced separate issues with recorded work hours — though remote policies were officially approved.
