Staff photo by John Rawlston/Chattanooga Times Free PressHamilton County Auditor Bill McGriff knows where the money is. He’s been keeping track of county taxpayers’ funds for 36 years, before the current form of county government even existed.
He has audited friends, cost people their jobs and put people in jail.
County commissioners say McGriff has done the job well.
“He stays up on the issues,” Chairman Larry Henry said. “He’s very informative. He’s very dedicated to his job.”
“He knows where every penny is,” Commissioner Greg Beck said.
