Oscar Brock to Audit GOP Books, Resign as Treasurer

In an e-mail message addressed to former Tennessee Republican Party chair Robin Smith and current chair Chris Devaney and obtained by TennesseeTicket, party treasurer Oscar Brock said that he will conduct an audit of the party's finances over the next two weeks, and present the outcome to former and current party leaders.

Following the audit, the letter continues, Brock plans to step down from his post, in order for the new chairperson to recruit new party officers. The State Executive Committee would hold an election to fill this and any other resignations.

In a brief statement, Mr. Brock cited a desire to "clear up the rumors" that arose in recent weeks about past party spending, and to give the new chairman confidence that the accounts are free of any unknown pending expenditures.
