Hiring of Douglas auditor under scrutiny

The Douglas County state’s attorney is investigating a potential open meetings law violation after a complaint was filed Monday regarding the hiring of a new county auditor.
Craig Parkhurst said he received a complaint from County Auditor Diane Christensen about a possible violation Monday morning. If he finds the violation has merit, his options involve prosecuting a violation himself or sending a complaint to the attorney general’s office or Open Meetings Commission.
