Missouri Auditor Scott Fitzpatrick takes the oath of office Monday during a ceremony at the Jefferson City Capitol building, pledging reviews of K-12 public schools will be a top priority for his office.
Fitzpatrick, a Shell Knob native, spent time in the State Legislature before serving as Missouri Treasurer the last four years. In a recent interview on KRZK’s “Ozarks Now” program, Fitzpatrick said becoming state auditor was a natural transition for him since holding accountability for agencies that spend taxpayers’ money has always been one of his priorities. Fitzpatrick said he also plans to look at local government spending as well.
