Government : State Auditor Rob Sand to visit Vinton May 23

State Auditor Rob Sand will continue his fifth "100 Town Hall" tour with public town hall appearances Tuesday, May 23rd, and Wednesday, May 24th, 2023. As part of his promise to meet Iowans where they are and operate with the transparency and accountability they deserve, Sand will deliver remarks and take questions on the work of the State Auditor's office and the condition of the state's finances and governance.

Expected topics of discussion include the lack of accountability and transparency in the new school vouchers legislation that will take tax dollars away from public schools to pay instead for private school tuition, new pro-corruption legislation that allows state agencies to hide documents from the State Auditor, and advancements in his Public Innovations and Efficiencies (PIE) program for saving tax dollars. "It helps our office to hear from Iowans and helps Iowans to hear from someone who is willing to go after insiders' corruption and waste in Iowa's governments," said Auditor Sand in advance of the trip. "I'm proud to continue that work in all Iowa's counties this year."

State Auditor Rob Sand will hold a Benton County Town Hall at Celebration Park, 105 W 2nd Street, in Vinton on Tuesday, May 23, from 2:00-3:00 pm
