LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — State auditors have identified more than $30,000 in “questionable and possibly fraudulent” payments made by the south-central Nebraska village of Riverton.

The audit says most of the money went to former village clerk Kelly Jackson and her husband, Jeremy Jackson, a former water operator. State Auditor Charlie Janssen said Monday that his office has referred the case to the Nebraska attorney general’s office.

Auditors blamed the village board for insufficient monitoring and oversight. As of Jan. 31, the village owed more than $33,000 to various creditors. Auditors say at least one resident received a discount on his utilities bill based on a verbal agreement with Kelly Jackson.

A listed phone number for the Jacksons was disconnected. Board chairman Mike Lammers declined to comment, saying the audit was “a sore subject.”
