COLBERT, OK -- After making claims that the town government has misappropriated funds, Colbert trustee Michelle Weger has stepped down.
"I regretfully have to resign and turn over my position to those who continue to hide embezzlement," Weger said Friday.
Michelle Weger has served on the Board of Trustees since January 2007. She says for more than a year she has investigated what she calls missing or misappropriated dollars to the tune of $100,000.
Weger claims even though the city has taken out a loan to pay off their debt to the IRS, they still owe money.
She also says proceeds from the 3 percent sales tax were not going to the accounts voted on by Colbert citizens.
Weger says the evidence has been turned over to the Attorney General’s Office.
Her resignation is effective Friday.
