Resident alleges grant fraud and improper handling of funds at public comment

Justin Quayle told the board he had stopped participating in the pledge of allegiance and then said he had filed a complaint alleging grant fraud tied to about $50,000 and repeated payments he said were improperly handled. He said the complaint led to legal costs and licensing actions and accused local actors of "stealing from people."

"You filed that complaint about grant fraud," Quayle said he was told by his lawyer while recounting the legal consequences he faced; earlier he said, "you stole from people." Quayle named two people in his remarks and asked the board why grant funds could not be returned and how late payments were deducted despite grant disbursements.

The chair thanked Quayle after his remarks; the transcript records no formal county response or staff presentation addressing his allegations in the captured excerpt.
