Despite most of the $1.28 million mistakenly paid to the state being returned, the error was again a topic of controversy for the Marion City Council.
During Monday s council committee meeting, Deputy Auditor Marden Watts said $1.1 million has been returned to the City of Marion after it was mistakenly paid to the state instead of the IRS. Watts added that the request to get the additional $184,000 has been submitted and is awaiting to be processed, although it could take three months before it is deposited.
