Iowa State Auditor Rob Sand was in Oskaloosa Tuesday (4/12) as part of his annual tour of the state.  While the office of auditor may not sound glamorous, Sand says it’s an important watchdog.

“If you look at the office seal, it’s literally a watchdog in front of a treasure chest and it’s got the key in its mouth. (laughs)  So you get the idea that we are the ones that are supposed to be alert and awake and barking if something’s going wrong.”

Sand is running for re-election this year.
