Two business owners, Sonserae Cicero and Roberta Hoskie, are under scrutiny for refusing to hand over financial records related to nearly $2 million in state grants. The grants, secured with the help of Senator Doug McCrory, are now under federal investigation. Auditors are unable to fully verify the grants proper use due to the lack of records. McCrory maintains innocence, while Governor Ned Lamonts team supports using legal means to force compliance. The situation has raised concerns about taxpayer money and potential future funding. The audit was initiated after a $300,000 fraudulent wire loss was reported, revealing larger issues such as poor controls and McCrorys unauthorized subgrant steering. State leaders plan to push for the records through contractual access and new rules on legislative earmarks.
