State Auditor Dave Boliek visits Greenville
GREENVILLE, N.C. (WNCT) — North Carolina State Auditor Dave Boliek visited eastern North Carolina on Tuesday. His goal for his visit was to learn more about Greenville and the east.
'Where roadblocks exist on economic development and prosperity in eastern North Carolina, so that we can put into context how we audit things and how we look at the use of taxpayer money when we're determining what the best return on investment is. And second is to get that perspective from people that live in Greenville as to what needs—what—where does tax dollars—where do tax dollars need to be spent here to get the greatest return on investment,' said Dave Boliek, North Carolina State Auditor.
He tells WNCT that since being elected, he's been working on redefining the State Auditor's Office.
'The Dave Act passed the North Carolina Senate. We're working with the North Carolina House on their budget funding. And we've talked to House leaders, in fact, on the way up here, about what we've asked for in terms of expanding the capabilities of the State Auditor's Office,' Boliek said.
The State Auditor is now able to appoint new members to the State Board of Elections, a duty that used to be held by the sitting governor.
'We've already accomplished the first round of that, which is to appoint the board. The second part of our role is to appoint county board chairs, which we will handle over the next 30 to 45 days,' he said.

Auditor Fitzpatrick takes legal action to obtain data for audit of Jackson County Assessment Department
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Missouri State Auditor Scott Fitzpatrick announced on Wednesday that he has taken legal action to obtain the missing link needed to complete the audit of the Jackson County Assessment Department. Fitzpatrick filed a petition in the Circuit Court of Jackson County to enforce two subpoenas he issued on Feb. 24, 2025, to the Jackson County Assessor and to Data Cloud Solutions (DCS) – which is the vendor used by the department to house data that will help determine if drive-by assessments were performed in violation of state law. Woman says former firefighter sexually abused her, fears he will avoid punishment 'From the beginning we knew this data was critical to the audit and mandatory to answer the questions of Jackson County residents who have serious concerns about their rights being violated during the physical assessment process,' Auditor Fitzpatrick said in a news release. 'We began requesting this data in the very early stages of our work and have been given the run around the entire time.' He said the Jackson County Assessment Department claims they are unable to access the Mobile Assessor data created during the assessment of Jackson County property – and has placed the blame on Data Cloud Solutions, a third-party vendor. 'Data Cloud Solutions has been unwilling to provide the data to a client paying for their services, and has already ignored two subpoenas from our office,' Fitzpatrick said. 'Unfortunately for Data Cloud Solutions, we will fight until we have the truth for the people of Jackson County.' Fitzpatrick said that he and the State Auditor's Office initially requested data from Tyler Technologies in November 2023. After three requests to Tyler Technologies were ignored, he said the State Auditor's Office requested the data from the Jackson County Assessment Department in January 2024—only to receive a response that the department would need to reach out to Tyler Technologies about the data. After months passed and no data was provided, he said the State Auditor's Office issued a subpoena to the department on May 28, 2024, and again on Oct. 8, 2024. A representative from Tyler Technologies indicated the company gave Data Cloud Solutions the necessary permission to share the data with the Jackson County Assessment Department. However, after the department's request to obtain the data directly from Data Cloud Solutions failed, Fitzpatrick said he issued a third subpoena to the department on Feb. 24, 2025. From February 2024 through January 2025, he said Data Cloud Solutions ignored these requests. According to Fitzpatrick, the State Auditor's Office also issued subpoenas to Data Cloud Solutions in December 2024 and February 2025 – both of which were ignored. The audit of the Jackson County Assessment Department has been ongoing since Oct. 23, 2023. The audit was initiated at the request of the Jackson County Legislature, which passed a formal resolution authorizing the audit on Aug. 21, 2023. Download WDAF+ for Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV Auditor Fitzpatrick released preliminary results to the people of Jackson County in December 2023 after his office discovered up to 200,000 homeowners in Jackson County were the victims of a flawed and inadequate assessment process that failed to comply with state law. He said his office 'continues to work to complete the audit of the department in spite of continued efforts made by the auditee to delay the process.'Jackson County likely to comply with latest order on assessments Three Jackson County legislators call on AG to investigate Frank White Missouri Tax Commission orders Jackson County to roll back 2023 assessments The latest in tug of war over Jackson County property tax assessments Jackson County leaders stand by 2023 property assessments despite state order Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

How North Carolina's new top watchdog is amassing power
Just a few weeks after North Carolina voters elected the first Republican to serve as state auditor in 15 years, North Carolina's GOP-controlled General Assembly jumped at the opportunity, passing into law legislation that gave Dave Boliek the power to appoint the state's Board of Elections. Why it matters: The move was part of a broader effort to consolidate Republican power in the state, tipping control of the elections board and thus giving the GOP more authority over the state's electoral process. But lawmakers haven't stopped there. For months, they've been moving to make Boliek far more powerful than auditors past. Driving the news: In Boliek's first six months in office, legislative Republicans have introduced several bills that would expand his office's authority. They've proposed giving him more employees, a bigger budget and the authority to investigate some nonprofits and private businesses and make recommendations on ways to cut state spending. The big picture: Republicans' effort to grant Boliek more power comes at a moment when Republicans — both in Washington and in North Carolina — have zeroed in on making all levels of government more efficient at any cost. As the Trump administration's Department of Government Efficiency has sought to slash federal spending, GOP lawmakers in North Carolina have set their sights on doing the same at a state level, with the now-Republican state auditor as a key vehicle. North Carolina Republicans have also mirrored the national party's efforts to eliminate diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, including by proposing legislation that would require that the auditor regularly audit agencies to ensure they're not using DEI policies. What they're saying:"We want our state agencies to work as hard as the citizens that fund them," Senate leader Phil Berger, who sponsored a bill that would give Boliek more power, said in a statement in March. "If they won't hold themselves accountable, then the General Assembly will." The latest: Measures broadening the auditor's scope made their way into the state Senate's budget proposal, which the chamber unveiled in April. Now, the legislature's two chambers are in the early stages of budget negotiations with a goal of passing a spending plan by the end of this month. Should the Senate's proposal, known as the Division of Accountability, Value and Efficiency (DAVE) Act, make it into the final budget package, Boliek is likely to amass even more power in the coming months. Under the proposal, the auditor would be empowered to make recommendations on state jobs that should be eliminated. The DAVE division would dissolve at the end of 2028. What they're saying: "This bill strikes me as not really getting at efficiency, but getting at really kind of a political approach to some of the work that we're here to do," Democratic state Sen. Lisa Grafstein said in committee in April, per the News & Observer. State of play: As it stands, several entities already exist to ensure North Carolina's government functions efficiently. One of them is the state auditor, who, as the state's top watchdog, has long been tasked with monitoring both the use of taxpayer dollars and the elimination of waste, fraud and abuse. The office audits more than $100 billion in assets and liabilities, per the auditor's website. Auditors past have earned the respect of Democrats and Republicans alike for tackling the job without favoring members of the same political party. The intrigue: As evidenced by legislation they've passed in recent months, North Carolina lawmakers believe that the auditor's office could be doing more, however. Boliek believes that, too. "I felt early on —and still feel — that this office has been underutilized in the sense of its duties and responsibilities as a watchdog and as a public-facing agency," Boliek told Axios last month. He's also argued that much of the legislation under consideration merely "formalizes the work that needs to be done" in his office, WRAL reported in April. Zoom in: Boliek, who has vowed to approach his job in a nonpartisan way as previous auditors have, is also on a mission to transform his office from within. "There a new energy in the office and a new vision for not only doing audits, but for being a true watchdog for the people of North Carolina, and to inform the public in an impactful way and get some real results on behalf of the people of North Carolina," Boliek said. The other side: At least one Republican has said that one of the proposals to grant the auditor more power should be "tightened up."
