State auditor deserves the appearance of innocence

Like you, I’m concerned about the charges against our state auditor Troy Kelley.

I don’t know if he’s innocent or guilty, but this rush to judgement on the part of our governor smacks of pure politics.  He has not been charged with any crime related to his job as state auditor.

Kelley doesn’t answer to the governor of this state.   He was elected by the people.   (I don’t think I voted for him, but I really can’t remember.)

We have a legal system in this state.   Let it work.

Then, if he’s found guilty, kick him out of office.

Until then – – let him run his office, take leave when he feels the need, and give him the appearance of innocence that all those charged with a crime have.
