WEST VIRGINIA DEMOCRATS QUESTION AUDITOR’S DEEDS

Democrats in the Legislature want state leaders to ask the Attorney General about actions by State Auditor Mark Hunt. The Democrats sent a memo earlier this week to House Speaker Roger Hanshaw and Senate President Randy Smith, both Republicans. The question is whether Hunt personally signed delinquent property tax deeds after the legal deadline. Some of those deeds were then conveyed to a company linked to an associate and contractor of his office. Hunt says he acted as the office’s chief authority, and that he would have done the same for anyone.
