MASON CITY – The Cerro Gordo County Board of Supervisors on Monday voted to go forward with an investigation of County Auditor Adam Wedmore utilizing the state auditor’s office after he mailed 1000 pieces of campaign mail from the courthouse and got caught.
NIT earlier reported on an incident in which county auditor Adam Wedmore used a count mail machine to stamp 1000 pieces of mail for a campaign. Because Wedmore claimed he would reimburse the taxpayers, no charges were brought by state officials. By this logic, perhaps store patrons could shoplift and tell police in the parking lot they now planned to pay the store for the item? Is good old boy justice non-partisan in Iowa? However, now the county board of supervisors is referring Wedmore’s auditor office for investigation. See meeting minutes below.
The following are the expenses paid by Cerro Gordo county and Board of Supervisor meeting minutes for the period ending on March 4, 2024:
