An ethics complaint has been filed against New Castle County Auditor Bob Wasserbach raising the question of whether he had a conflict-of-interest in the 2013 audit done on – what was then called – the Kent County SPCA.
The complaint was filed by Kevin Usilton, executive director of First State Animal Center and Society – the organization’s new name.
The complaint says that Wasserbach had a conflict of interest because he is now president of another nonprofit group Faithful Friends Animal Society.
The Wilmington News Journal reports that in May it found thousands of emails between Wasserbach and Faithful Friends about the audit.
The paper reports that some of the emails indicate that Wasserbach pushed to shift a million dollar contract with New Castle County to Faithful Friends.
