Audit flags school co-op’s contractor accord
After testifying before the Legislature's Joint Performance Review Committee, Young declined to comment about whether he violated the ethics laws. He told lawmakers that he is paid $ 95, 000 a year as director of the cooperative, where he has worked several years. Young said he thought it would be appropriate for Arch Ford to issue the cell phone and credit card to his daughter because the expenses would be reimbursed to Arch Ford, but Arch Ford's board of directors wasn't aware of the arrangement. He said he recommended that his daughter take the job and recommended that the Texas cooperative hire her. Williams said the audit has been referred to Tom Tatum, prosecuting attorney in the 15 th Judicial District. Tatum said later that he recently received a copy of the audit but hasn't taken any action yet.
