The town of Steubenville’s Finance Division was offered Auditor’s Awards of Distinction for 2020 and 2021 Thursday. Ohio Auditor Keith Faber made the presentation, telling workers fewer than 3.5 % of the 6,000 entities we audit get this award. “To get this award not one 12 months, not even two years — that is 12 months seven and 12 months eight of getting this award. Which means the books and file books of the Metropolis of Steubenville are excellent. We discovered no points.” Faber mentioned it takes a crew effort. “You possibly can’t have anyone mess up, you possibly can’t have an open conferences violation. These issues must be excellent as effectively.” Available for the presentation have been, from left, Faber, Teresa Merritt, Jeff Yoder, Lisa Knight, Kelley Jones, Finance Director Dave Lewis and Metropolis Supervisor Jim Mavromatis. — Linda Harris
