SARASOTA COUNTY - The Sarasota Alliance for Fair Elections wants the state attorney and sheriff to investigate Supervisor of Elections Kathy Dent's decision not to have a spot-check audit last Tuesday of the school tax referendum results.
"We must hold our elected officials accountable," alliance co-founder Kindra Muntz e-mailed supporters as she informed them of the request for a criminal investigation.
Not complying with the provision in the county charter is a misdemeanor, Muntz stated.

"Nothing destroys the public's respect for the law more than if such misconduct is ignored by those who have a responsibility to enforce the law," Shults wrote.
