Governor Henry says the grand jury allegations against State Auditor and Inspector Jeff McMahan are very serious allegations and he is greatly concerned about them. In a statement he says, "Before I pass judgement, I want to review all the available information and hear the auditor's public response to the charges. In the meantime, however, I believe it would be appropriate for the auditor to step aside on administrative leave and turn over the office's day to day operations to his chief deputy while the allegations are resolved. It is important to protect the public interest in this matter and ensure that the daily functions of the auditor's office are not impeded by the ongoing legal proceedings."
