Stokes on track for City Auditor post
Monday, November 17, 2014 by Michael Kanin
Among the 182 items on City Council’s Thursday agenda are two that may have the collective impact of appointing current Deputy City Auditor Corrie Stokes to replace current City Auditor Ken Mory, who is leaving at the end of the year. Stokes has been with the city since 1999. The items come with three sponsors — Council Members Laura Morrison and Bill Spelman, as well as Mayor Pro Tem Sheryl Cole — so all Stokes will need is another vote to take the seat. We like her chances.
