Audit finds fault with county treasurer's mileage paperwork

The Lancaster County treasurer has offered to pay back $3,400 in mileage reimbursement that raised criticism from the state auditor's office.

An audit report says the missing information included reasons and dates for Andy Stebbing's trips and included possibly incorrect mileage and reimbursement requests for trips taken on legal holidays. Stebbing told the Lincoln Journal Star on Thursday that he apologizes for the lack of specifics in reporting mileage.

Stebbing says his requests have lacked such details since he took office in 2011 and says no one told him he needed to provide the information. He says he's requested reimbursement for just a fraction of his daily mileage.

He's awaiting trial on criminal charges that he sold cars without a dealer's license and filed fraudulent tax returns. He's denied the allegations.
