CCMH Update

Cuts to senior service funding
To the Editor: Here in Lafayette County, we take pride in looking out for our neighbors, especially our seniors. These Missourians spent their lives building our communities, raising families, working our farms and businesses, and volunteering wherever help was needed. That’s why the recent cuts to senior service funding in Missouri’s state budget are so concerning. They deserve to age with dignity, yet this budget effectively writes them out of the state’s priorities.



County audits
On May 22, the Commission met with Randall Fiene, CPA of Concordia, Missouri, to discuss the current requirements surrounding county audits and to better understand the differences between the outside audits Lafayette County already completes and the petition audit currently being discussed publicly.
