Liberty County’s board of commissioners got a glowing review in their recently completed audit. The audit, conducted by the firm Mauldin and Jenkins, was given an unmodified — also known as a “clean” — opinion on the county’s fiscal year 2025 financial statements. “That’s a good place to be,” Arich said of the county’s fund balance. General fund expenditures and revenues for FY22 were close to even, and expenditures topped revenues for FY23. “I remember when we were pondering the millage rate and the one we chose allowed us to add to the fund balance,” Chairman Donald Lovette said.
