A judge has ordered the Beaufort County Black Chamber of Commerce president to dismantle his “improperly constituted” board of directors, reinstate the old board as ‘lawful,’ and provide board members with copies of the organization’s financial records within a week.
The Beaufort County Black Chamber of Commerce board of directors is suing its president, saying he has refused to turn over tax records or hold meetings with the board since August amid discrepancies with the organization’s finances.
Local chambers of commerce may soon be forced to show how they spent hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars. If they don’t comply, one elected leader said, their funding could be stripped.
Tax Payers, please pay attention to where your tax dollars are going. Skip Hoagland Makes a FOIA request to Beaufort County.
The FOIA, freedom of Information act, should include a complete ATAX accounting, with receipts with their matching invoices for all Chambers and non profits funded by Beaufort County.
