LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — The commission that oversees Nebraska’s state tourism agency has suspended its executive director in the wake of a scathing state audit.

Kathy McKillip was ordered Friday to turn in her keys and files while the commission investigates financial mismanagement within the Nebraska Tourism Commission. McKillip will continue to be paid while on suspension.

The audit found that Nebraska tourism officials used state money to reimburse a marketing firm for alcohol and cigarettes, accepted meals from contractors and paid $44,000 in speaking fees for a 90-minute speech by a corporate executive.

Commission members met in closed session before voting 7-0 to impose the suspension. McKillip left the meeting without comment.

Commission Chairman John Chapo says he can’t discuss the decision because it’s a personnel matter.
