Circleville Mayor Michelle Blanton and Law Director Kendra Kinney have been in office only about three months.
6 On Your Side has learned that the top two city leaders met privately last month with a regional liaison from state“The mayor and law director shared that they have exhausted their internal investigation and asked that I connect you with them for further assistance from our office,” said the liaison, Scott Brown , in a March 13 email to Randall Turner , director of the auditor’s special investigations unit.
However, three weeks later Faber’s office hasn’t decided whether to intervene, spokesman Matt Eiselstein said. Brown said his conversation with Blanton and Kenney “focused upon improper expenditures, failure to pay vendors, failure to gain Council approval for expenses, lack of contracts or unbid contracts, and operating outside of the budget.”The most frustrating part about this entire situation since our last council meeting, we’ve received very little information about these issues," the councilman said.I'm starting to wonder what else is being kept from us...
While I understand the frustration of many individuals in this room, these matters are subject to investigation. The city has been quite clear that there'll be no comment on them, and we'll continue to make that comment on behalf of the city."
