A county audit found that Fitzgerald used tax dollars to pay five employees of his office to work on his 2014 re-election campaign.
"I met with the sheriff to discuss his budget for this year. I explained to him that 'I don't have control over your office. You are a separately elected official, but I believe I owe it to the citizens of Howard County that we reduce your budget that we planned to put in by $7,100,'" Howard County Executive Allan Kittleman said.
The 11 News I-Team learned that the State Prosecutor's Office is seeking information from the county auditor.
"Clearly, they were taking the time that is supposed to be used for union activities to campaign both in the primary and general election. That was determined not to be appropriate," Kittleman said.

No difference in what he did than what the Clinton's do daily!
It happens in every county,believe that.
WTF do they think Obama did to get re-elected. Everywhere he and his staff went he was campaigning. That is not hard to figure out.
It's obvious that Kittleman has a hard on for the Sheriff. The same thing can happen to Wicomico or anywhere.
