ST. GEORGE — SLED will take a closer look at an investigation of the Dorchester County auditor's office to see if criminal charges are warranted.

If criminal charges are warranted? Well, I mean, yeah, they weren't playing poker or anything, but is there even a vague possibility there was nothing illegal about their activities?
Lord help the taxpayers in SC if they aren't charged with something.

I Thought The Reason why the Independant audit of Ray Nash and the Sheriffs office was done independantly was because SLED didn't have the capability.....Amazing.
