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.
