State Auditor Keith Faber met with Champaign County Commissioners Steven Hess, Bob Corbett and Tim Cassady during a visit to the county on Thursday. Faber also stopped in to see other county leaders at the government office building.
County commissioners and Faber discussed CARES Act spending triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic, the impact on local businesses, extensive unemployment fraud, and long-term goals.
After greeting everyone with a fist bump, Faber asked the county commissioners about CARES Act funds the county had received. Hess responded, “I think we were able to do a lot of good with it.”
