Statehouse sidelights...Early audit leak may bring reverberations Item Info

A newspaper article discussing: In May 1979, the Joint Finance Appropriations Committee (JFAC) and Attorney General David H. Leroy initiated an investigation into the premature leak of a legislative audit report, which violated state law. The early release of the audit, which contained minor violations like excessive travel expenses, raised concerns about political motivations, particularly from the Division of Administration director, Bartlett Brown. Leroy focused on those who accessed the confidential report without authorization, while emphasizing a careful approach toward the media involved, like United Press International's Robert Van Buskirk.
