Public corruption team created under MO auditor Galloway

Missouri Auditor Nicole Galloway says she's creating
a public corruption team now that she's been sworn in for another term.

The 36-year-old Democrat took the oath of office Monday at a ceremony in the
Missouri Capitol Rotunda.

This will be her first full term in office. She was originally appointed to the
position by former Democratic Gov. Jay Nixon in 2015 after former Auditor Tom
Schweich killed himself.

Voters in November elected Galloway to serve another term.

As auditor, she's responsible for reviewing government spending, for checking for
waste, fraud and abuse.

After her swearing in, Galloway announced that the new Public Corruption and
Fraud Division in her office will include law enforcement professionals and
forensic auditing specialists focused on rooting out misuse of government
resources by officials.
