Sarasota GOP members accuse party of accounting problems

[Zorro]

Two audit committee members of the Republican Party of Sarasota County have resigned in protest over accounting irregularities and reported their findings to the Sheriff's Office, seeking a criminal investigation.

All four members of the audit committee sent a letter to party chairman Joe Gruters recommending an external audit.

The Sheriff's Office is taking no action on their complaint. Like the audit committee, sheriff's officials recommended that the party seek an external audit.

That the party's books are in disarray is not in question.

1. The party of "fiscal responsibility" is at it again.

They are great at lecturing others on spending, not so great at managing their own spending.
