The Liberty Tourism and Convention Commission heard an audit report about the 2017 fiscal year and denied a Casey County Fair Board grant request. In a special called June 24 meeting, Rachel Short, of RFH CPAs, of Lexington, presented to the commission an audit on fiscal year 2017, which had some issues. The audit was several years past due after the Kentucky Department of Local Government (DLG) in 2020 told then-newly hired Director Heather Cundiff to audit fiscal year 2020, which was the wrong year. Earlier this year, Tourism was granted an extension to perform the audit to bring it into compliance with the DLG as a Special Purpose Government Entity (SPGE).
