Damage Control: McMahan Fires Arbaugh

Embattled Auditor & Inspector Jeff McMahan has fired Tim Arbaugh, the head of his abstract division, identified as an illegal straw campaign donor in a federal affidavit.

McMahan reportedly informed Arbaugh of his firing in a one-paragraph letter sent late Tuesday.

The firing came as the campaign finance scandal focused on former Senator Gene Stipe and his abstract company partner, Steve Phipps, continued to shine light on McMahan and donations to his campaigns.
