Auditor’s report recommends changes in Zeigler

An auditor’s report on the city of Zeigler’s finances recommends changes in Zeigler city government.

The audit, ordered after the discovery that Treasurer Ryan Thorpe had embezzled more than $315,000 from the city, recommends that current finance commissioner Jim Flood be reassigned due to his close ties with Thorpe.

Flood allegedly bullied other city officials into signing blank checks that Thorpe would then write out to himself.

The next Zeigler city council meeting is October 24.
