(The Center Square) – No penalty for failure to pay a water bill by a town commissioner, or by an employee manipulating the system, have been discovered in a North Carolina town through a state audit started from a tip line.

State Auditor Dave Boliek on Thursday said his team “took a deep dive” into the finances of Mount Olive, a community of about 4,200 in Wayne County and home to the well-known pickle brand of the same name. In addition to the malfeasance in the Water Department, the Mount Olive Municipal Airport was flagged for improper fuel purchasing.
