Henry: McMahan Should Step Aside

Governor Henry said today it would be "appropriate" for Auditor and Inspector Jeff McMahan to take an administrative leave of his office following his indictment by a federal grand jury. "Before I pass judgment, I want to review all the available information and hear the auditor's public response to the charges," the governor said. "In the meantime, however, I believe it would be appropriate for the auditor to step aside on administrative leave and turn over the office's day-to-day operations to his chief deputy while the allegations are resolved."
