Ron Crane
A southwestern Idaho county prosecutor won’t pursue criminal charges against state Treasurer Ron Crane over his use of a state gas card to fill up his private vehicle.
Canyon County prosecutor Bryan Taylor did recommend Crane begin more-comprehensive record keeping, to ensure he’s not using taxpayer-funded gasoline for personal trips. Taylor also said he strongly advocates for the state to clarify its state travel policy.
Crane said in a statement that he was delighted with Taylor’s findings – and will keep comprehensive driving records.
His office’s finances have been the focus of an audit by Legislative Services.
The state forwarded concerns over Crane’s use of a state Chevron card to fill up his personal vehicle and commute to and from the Capitol in Boise to the prosecutor for further scrutiny. (AP)
