Logan County Commission Cracking Down On Employees For Misusing County Vehicles.
Logan County Commission President Art Kirkendoll says that county vehicle misuse by county employees will stop or they will be sanctioned.
After two reports surfaced showing the county had been admonished by the State Auditor’s office for having a history of allowing its employees to use vehicles for there own personal use, reports of misusing county owned vehicles started to surface.
