Clark County Auditor John Federer was installed as Vice President of the Southwest District of the County Auditors’ Association of Ohio (CAAO) for 2016 at their annual Winter Conference. Also installed were President Madison County Auditor Jennifer Hunter and Secretary/Treasurer Greene County Auditor David Graham. The Honorable Doug Green, Ohio State Representative, installed Mr. Federer during a ceremony on Thursday, November 19th at the Embassy Suites Dublin.

The District works closely with the CAAO Columbus office to monitor legislative proposals that impact local taxpayers and to offer initiatives that assist County Auditors in carrying out their duties. During 2016 we anticipate much activity with ongoing examination of government reform measures, major changes in a variety of taxation issues, and addressing the general condition of the state’s economy and unemployment.

The CAAO includes all 88 Ohio County Auditors. Now in its 148th year, it was established to promote and protect the interests of the taxpayers of Ohio and to improve the administration of county government.
