Auditor: State paid workers $3M during misconduct probes

Two new reports from the state auditor put the process for investigating allegations of state employee misconduct under the microscope.

The reviews also found that parts of the process for investigating allegations of misconduct lack documentation, making it difficult to track cases all the way through.
